In TV Ad, Abortion Survivor Challenges Obama

 

“If Barack Obama had his way, I would not be here.”

In a new TV ad, abortion survivor Gianna Jessen challenges the presidential candidate's voting record on abortion.

As an Illinois senator, Obama blocked the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which would have required hospitals to care for infants who survive an abortion.

"I am living proof these babies have a right to live," Jessen says in the ad, which is running in the battleground states of New Mexico and Ohio.

“This is the type of message that can get a lot of people thinking," said Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee. "And once they start looking at Senator Obama’s record on this issue, I think a lot of people are going to be appalled.”
