Abortion Survivor Calls Out Obama in New Ad September 16, 2008 cbn.com A 527 group called BornAliveTruth.org started running an abortion ad against Senator Obama today and it features an abortion survivor looking into the camera and making a plea to the Senator. Basically, Gianna Jessen says she was left for dead as an aborted fetus but survived and then questions why Obama was against The Born Alive Infants Protection act in Illinois. Watch the ad here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMwDq73gbm4 Here is the transcription of what she says: “Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world? My name is Gianna Jessen, born 31 years ago after a failed abortion. I’m a survivor, as are many others…but if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn’t be here. Four times, Barack Obama voted to oppose a law to protect babies left to die after a failed abortion. Senator Obama, please support born alive infant protections. I’m living proof these babies have a right to live.” The ad is running on cable television statewide for the next week in New Mexico and Ohio. It is running on broadcast television in Cleveland and Albuquerque. The Brody File is told this is just phase one of the rollout against Obama. Here is how BornAlivetruth.org defines itself: "BornAliveTruth.org is a 527 political organization whose mission is to educate the public on the IL Born Alive Infants Protection Act and Barack Obama's record opposing this act." The Obama campaign has repeatedly said these accusations are insulting, misleading and flat out wrong. Here is a statement that is on Obama’s website about this whole matter: "The recent attacks on Senator Obama that allege he would allow babies born alive to die are outrageous lies. The suggestion that Obama -- the proud father of two little girls -- and others who opposed these bills supported infanticide is deeply offensive and insulting. There is no room for these kinds of distortions and lies in this campaign. What Senator Obama’s attackers don’t tell you is that existing Illinois law already requires doctors to provide medical care in the very rare case that babies are born alive during abortions. They will not tell you that Obama voted against these laws in Illinois because they were clear attempts to undermine Roe v. Wade. They will not tell you that these laws were also opposed by pro-choice Republicans and the Illinois Medical Society -- a leading association of doctors in the state. And they will not tell you that Obama has always maintained that he would have voted for the federal version of this bill, which did not pose such a threat. The bills Senator Obama voted against in Illinois were crafted to undermine Roe v. Wade or pre-existing Illinois state law regulating reproductive healthcare and medical practice, which is why Senator Obama objected to them." This issue doesn’t seem like it’s going away and The Brody File pointed out a long time ago that pro-life groups would try to make life miserable for Obama. We now have a prime example. Obama has to be able to shake this issue. But so far the McCain campaign hasn't gone after him hard on this. It has just been special interest groups. The game changes if McCain engages.
