SBA List Releases Radio Ad in New Mexico Highlighting Anti-Life Record of Rep. Heather Wilsonby Staff
May 26, 2008
WASHINGTON, (christiansunite.com) -- Today the Susan B. Anthony List announced a $30,000 radio ad campaign on New Mexico Christian radio stations. The ad highlights Rep. Heather Wilson's (R-NM) record of supporting taxpayer funds for Planned Parenthood and her support for FDA approval of the RU-486 abortion pill. The script reads:
"There are 4,000 abortions every day in the United States. That's 4,000 children who weren't given a chance for life. This is a tragedy. But not to Representative Heather Wilson. She's part of the problem. Listen to the facts about her record.
Heather Wilson voted to send your tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, the biggest abortion provider in the United States. Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar abortion business, yet Heather Wilson thinks they deserve your tax dollars. Heather Wilson claims she's pro-life. Yet Wilson voted twice to allow FDA testing and approval of the deadly RU 486 chemical abortion pill.
The Susan B. Anthony List is encouraging the public to call Heather Wilson at 505-346-6781 and tell her they know the truth about her record.
'Paid for by Susan B. Anthony List, Inc.,
www.sba- list.org and not authorized by any candidate or candidates' committees.'"
The ad addresses Rep. Heather Wilson's (R-NM) vote against an amendment sponsored by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) to discontinue federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Last year, Planned Parenthood received over $300 million in federal taxpayer funding, while posting record profits of over $1 billion. Also raised are Wilson's two votes in favor of the FDA approval of the RU-486 abortion pill, which has been connected to serious injuries and even death for women who use it.
"Heather Wilson calls herself pro-life, but her voting record clearly shows otherwise. It is time Heather Wilson's constituents learn the truth about her votes to spend dollars from the pockets of principled pro-life Americans to destroy human lives," said Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "From her support for Planned Parenthood, to approval of the deadly RU-486 abortion drug, Heather Wilson's record is anything but pro-life."
The ad will run for three weeks beginning May 19, 2008 on Christian radio stations in New Mexico. It can be accessed on the Susan B. Anthony List website at
www.sba-list.org/truth.
The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of Americans, over 145,000 residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics. Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process.
