MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD: "There's backlash over the Montgomery County executive's new plan to run commercials touting local pro-abortion laws as a way to lure new businesses. It comes on the heels of last week's Supreme Court decision. But some are saying the move is inappropriate. Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich tells FOX 5 he's hiring an ad agency to sell the County as an "abortion sanctuary" for both businesses and their employees.

"It’s all economic development, so if we bring companies here and jobs here, it’s the same kind of outreach we do for any other kind of development," Elrich says. "A lot of times, we wonder what your ‘hook’ is and what your pitch is, and we know what our pitch is here, and we know what people are looking for."

The ad campaign could target states like Texas, Florida, and Virginia. While Elrich says the overall message is to lure businesses to Montgomery County where abortion rights are protected, Kris Ullman of the Conservative Eagle Forum says it's inappropriate to use abortion as an economic business incentive."
