Women Speak Out PAC
"The Nurse, The Extremist, The Survivor" +
:60 ad run from Oct. 10, 2012 run in VA.
[Bell SFX] [Music] Male Announcer: In 1999, an
Illinois nurse witnessed children born alive during abortion procedures.
Jill Stanek (voiceover):
My
name
is
Jill Stanek and I'm a registered nurse who witnessed babies
being delivered alive and left out to die. To be clear, these
were living babies who were left out to die.
Male Announcer: But
as an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama voted four times to deny
equal treatment for those babies born alive during an abortion.
Why?
Obama: "...but I
think it's important to understand that this issue ultimately is about
abortion, and not live births."
Male Announcer:
Only an extremist could ignore the humanity of a newborn infant
fighting for its life.
Melissa 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.
Male Announcer:
Barack Obama, wrong on abortion and wrong for America.
Female Announcer:
Women Speak Out PAC is responsible for the content of this advertising.
Notes: The press release...

announce a $150,000 ad buy in Virginia and unveil a new television ad

This
week the Women Speak Out PAC ran spots entitled "How will you answer?"
and "Abortion Radical" in concentrated media markets in Virginia, as
part of a more than $875,000 television ad campaign in swing states.
The ad revealed at tomorrow's press conference will be incorporated
into the campaign. Previously, the Susan B. Anthony List's "Women Speak
Out: Abortion is Not Health Care" bus tour travelled through
Harrisonburg, Lynchburg, and Roanoke educating voters on President
Obama's abortion record and urging voters to defeat him at the ballot
box in November.
Recently released polling data from the SBA
List shows that President Obama loses support from likely swing voters
once they are educated on his extreme abortion record. A majority of
swing voters (54%) are less likely to vote for President Obama after
learning that he voted against a law to give equal treatment to babies
born alive after a failed abortion (35% much less likely). Key voter
groups were also negatively impacted including independents (46%) and
pro-choicers (43%).
The Susan B. Anthony List, and its
affiliated Political Action Committees, the SBA List Candidate Fund and
Women Speak Out PAC, are dedicated to pursuing policies and electing
candidates that will reduce and ultimately end abortion. To that end,
the SBA List will emphasize the education, promotion, mobilization, and
election of pro-life women. The SBA List is a network of more than
365,000 pro-life Americans nationwide.
