In case you missed it, in the wake of the Arizona Supreme Court decision this week upholding an archaic 160-year-old abortion ban, the DNC placed billboards across Phoenix and Tempe pointing Arizonans to the truth – Donald Trump is responsible for this extreme abortion ban from 1864 with no exceptions for health, rape, or incest. News of the billboards rang out on local airwaves and papered both local and national outlets.  

Here’s what Americans are seeing on local and national news:
