Pro-life group attacks Obama campaign faith tour

Christianity Today September 19, 2008

The president of the Susan B. Anthony List attacked Barack Obama campaign’s new effort to reach religious voters in battleground states.

“Barack Obama knows his extreme record on abortion doesn’t resonate with everyday American voters, so now he’s trying to soften his image with a so-called ‘values tour,'” President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. “It is cynical – because religious language without the actions to support it is so transparently empty. If you can’t save one of the ‘least of these’ – a dying baby who survives an abortion – because you see it as a ‘burden,’ one wonders who is really at the heart of your faith.”

The Susan B. Anthony List will invest $6 million to target 1.4 million pro-life women voters through mail, radio, and phone-banking across eight battleground states: Colorado, Ohio, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
