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 are sick animal!!!!

There is no such thing as Seperation of church & state in our Constitution & the majority of our laws are based on Christian morality b/c you must have a standard & it can't be by men cause then there is no reason to say Hitler was wrong because that was what he felt was right & you shouldn't judge, unless there is some standard besides whatever men think is ok or not. Period abortion is murder b/c of the science of it. It stops a heart beat, ending a life, & life is our first unalienable right.

[John F. Kennedy]

So you'd rather people dumpted them in the trash can or raised them with a shit life, instead of killing them before they even have brain cells? Bunch of bible bashing cunts

[Blake Fry]

Very powerful. She's wonderful! And above all...it shows it 100% IS a human life. Period. It could not be anything else. If it were not a human life...there could not possibly be this much emotion on either side of this issue.

If you are pro-death, Anti-life or whatever term you think justifies slaughtering the weak and defenseless then you are an accessory to murder for every baby murdered or attempted to be murdered. Know that when you get sick or injured and someone sees you as weak or useless your ungodliness will come down on your own head. But if you seek forgiveness in Christ then he will make you new, forgive you and adopt you into his family. God hates abortion. It's 1st degree murder!!! Say what you will
