FRC Action Highlights Obama's Radical Views on Abortion

FRC Action Highlights Obama's Radical Views on Abortion

 

FRC Action launched a TV and radio campaign today in response to Sen. Barack Obama's promise to make the so-called Freedom of Choice Act his first priority as president. The legislation could wipe away every federal, state and local law limiting or regulating abortion, undoing decades of legal work and educational successes.

 

The ad campaign comes two weeks after the Matthew 25 Network launched a Web site touting Obama as pro-life. The group, which took aim at Dr. James Dobson this summer, claims Obama would "drastically reduce abortion" and "promote life with dignity for all from the beginning of life to the end."

 

FRC Action President Tony Perkins said it's time voters knew the truth.

 

"Four times as an Illinois legislator, he voted against laws that would have ensured equal medical care for babies that survive an abortion attempt," Perkins said. "The (Freedom of Choice) Act would make partial-birth abortion legal again, repeal all parental-notice laws on abortion (and) provide unlimited tax funding of abortion.

 

"For most Americans, these issues are settled, but not for Senator Obama."

 

The TV ads will run this week in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Michigan and Washington, D.C. The radio ads will target Christian stations that carried Matthew 25 ads earlier this year.
