On August 28, 2012 the Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) announced the
launch of a $150,000 television ad campaign across Missouri highlighting
President Obama's extreme record on abortion and featuring abortion
survivor Melissa Ohden. Missouri has recently been at the center of the
conversation on abortion.
"In light of the recent national
discussion over abortion, it's important Americans know the President's
best-kept secret: his extreme record on abortion. Melissa Ohden's
powerful story draws a stark contrast to his unbending support of
abortion and the abortion industry and reveals the human face to this
debate." said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "President
Obama's appalling record on abortion is not just limited to his four
votes to deny rights to abortion survivors but spans to his recent
heartless refusal to support bans on sex-selection and late-term
abortions. These actions fly in the face of mainstream American views
and run counter to the President's first term pre-election talk of
finding common ground. Recent polling reveals the majority of Americans
support bans on these horrific practices."
The ad, which will air in media markets across Missouri, can be seen here. A partial script reads:
Ohden: I was aborted, and my body discarded...like I didn't exist.
But a nurse heard me crying...and cared enough to save my life.
There's
something else you may not know...when he was in the Illinois State
Senate, Barack Obama voted to deny basic constitutional protections for
babies born alive from a failed abortion. Not once, but four times.
I know that it is by the grace of God I am alive today...if only to ask America this question:
Is this the kind of leadership that will move us forward? Leadership that would discard the least and the weakest among us?
This
ad is the first in a series highlighting President Obama's extremist
record on abortion. The SBA List has additional ads being considered for
release in North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin. This week,
the SBA List is in the midst of a five state "Women Speak Out: Abortion
is Not Health Care" bus tour which has drawn attention to President
Obama's extreme record on abortion. Full schedule available at
www.SBAbus.com
The Susan B. Anthony List, and its connected
Political Action Committee, the SBA List Candidate Fund, are dedicated
to electing candidates and pursuing policies that will reduce and
ultimately end abortion. To that end, the SBA List will emphasize the
election, education, promotion, and mobilization of pro-life women.

You can tell a lot about a society, a nation in how they treat the most helpless of their people.
That goes triple for politicians!
This has never been a major political issue in the UK; however I remember a friend of mine showing me a 3-D scan of her baby, this was when these scans were new, more than ten years ago now I'd say, and as soon as I saw it my mind was made up on the abortion issue. Because that was a little human being in there, absolutely no question about it.
