As Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) is drafting his own anti-abortion amendment to the health care bill, NARAL Pro-Choice America is taking to the airwaves to fight against Rep. Bart Stupak's (D-MI) measure that passed the House last month.
The ad asks why abortion has been injected into the health care debate. NARAL says the ad will run in midsize media markets, including Richmond, Va., Raleigh N.C. and the Portland and Bangor markets in Maine. It also will run in Stupak's Michigan Congressional district.
NARAL president Nancy Keenan, who has been attempting to get the White House to demand abortion be stripped from the health care debate, said the ad aims to "help us enlist even more Americans into our campaign to defeat the Stupak abortion-coverage ban."
Watch the ad after the jump.

Not a very good ad. I'm as pro-choice as you can get and it didn't move me. I don't think it will do much for less committed folks.

I totally agree. This is about imposing ones religious views on everyone else even when there are no laws involved. This is about trying to impose personal theology on the country. Where was NARAL when this was being debated-ABSENT-that's where!

NARAL was quite active, as was Planned Parenthood; it's just that the Dems didn't give a shit. I think Perriello (who's got a pair) got thousands of calls to his office prior to the vote; the thing is, he WANTS to outlaw abortion.
Don't blame the feminist groups. Blame Rahm for recruiting a bunch of anti-choice hardliners.

Truly, this ad just doesn't do the job. NARAL needs to save their money and try again.
