emily’s list

The anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List, the religious right’s answer to the abortion rights group Emily’s list, has bought up time on Minnesota Christian radio stations to run ads attacking Al Franken. Interestingly, pro-life DFLer Rep. James Oberstar sits on the group’s advisory committee.

The ads say, in part (MP3):

In Minnesota, 39 innocent children are lost every day, 39 children every day. And what does comedian Al Franken want to do about it? Nothing. Franken says he supports abortion on demand. It’s no wonder radical pro-abortion groups have embraced Al Franken. They want to overturn the ban on gruesome partial birth abortions, force you to pay for abortions with your tax dollars, and allow young girls to get abortions without their parents consent. Al Franken and his allies are wrong. Call Al Franken right now at 612-344-2008 and tell him MN deserves leaders we can trust to protect life. tell him every life counts and this is no laughing matter.
