But the group that's also calling Brian Bengs a “pro-abortion extremist” in advertising spots that began airing last month is standing by the political action committee assault that juxtaposes the second-time U.S. Senate candidate and Mike Rounds foe with the likes of President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
