Abortion Survivor Rips Obama On Infanticide Support in New Ad

Abortion survivor Melissa Ohden hits President Barack Obama on the issue of abortion in a new pro-life television commercial sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List that will run in the battleground state of Missouri.

Missouri has recently been at the center of the conversation on abortion thanks to controversial comments from its U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin concerning women, abortion and rape.

But pro-life advocates say Obama is more extreme than Akin on abortion because of his record as a state senator from Illinois, when he refused to support a law that would provide medical protection for survivors of late abortions.

“I was aborted, and my body discarded…like I didn’t exist,” Ohden says in the ad. “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,” Ohden continues. “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?”
