This is the defining ad of the campaign season…
Abortion Survivor Gianna Jessen joined Born Alive Truth in a new ad that attacks Obama for voting against rights for newborn survivors of abortion:
Here’s the powerful ad from BornAliveTruth.org:
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.
Unfortunately, Barack Obama voted four times against affording these babies their most basic human right. I have serious concerns about Senator Obama’s record and views on this issue, given he voted against these protections four times as a state Senator. Just as abuse victims share their stories to educate the public, fight for the common good and hope that as a result politicians do what’s right, I felt it was important to come forward and give these new born babies a voice.
I am living proof these babies have a right to live, and I invite you to learn more about Senator Obama’s record on this important issue.

The ad is just devastating.
You don’t have to be a member of the religious right to be moved by that ad.
UPDATE: Andrew at Founding Bloggers adds this–
I am not religious, or a card carrying member of the right. I am pro-choice! And, this ad is absolutely devastating.
It makes me think that if McCain-Palin doesn’t fumble, messages like this will peel away layers of previous supporters who will increasingly feel that there has been enough negative info out there about Obama to justify a McCain vote.
There have to be a lot of voters who have already turned on Obama, and just need enough anecdotal evidence to back up their decision when faced with hard core liberals who will vilify America as racist for not electing an African American.
Also, if this continues, I wouldn’t rely on the exit polls. There are going to be a lot of people that are going to walk out of the polling station declaring their vote for Obama. A percentage of them will be lying.
