Script of "Gianna" (TV)

GIANNA JESSEN: Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world? My name is Gianna Jessen, born 31 years ago after a failed abortion.

(Text on screen: www.BornAliveTruth.org; Gianna Jessen, Abortion Survivor)

But if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn't be here. Four times Barack Obama voted to oppose a law to protect babies left to die after failed abortions.

(Text on screen: Obama Voted No 4 times on the Illinois Born-Alive Infant Defined Act; IL SB 1095, March 27, 2001; IL SB 1662, March 6 and April 4, 2002; IL SB 1082, March 13, 2003)

Senator Obama, please support born-alive infant protections. I'm living proof these babies have a right to live.
