UPDATE, 6p: We’re hearing from the media Obama’s people are telling them they have no comment on the Gianna ad, that Obama didn’t vote for Born Alive Infants Protection Act because it would undermine Roe. Even if that were true, which it is not, am I hearing Obama admit he supports infanticide if it would otherwise interfere with legalized abortion?

UPDATE,5:30p: New Associated Press story out on BornAliveTruth.org…

Ads assailing Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on taxes and abortion are coming out in key states and on national cable networks – aired by independent groups largely financed by two wealthy donors.
The abortion ad, a $350,000 spot that will appear during the next week in OH and NM, aims to cast Obama as out of the mainstream, even among abortion rights advocates. Aired by BornAliveTruth.org, it single out his efforts while in the IL Senate to defeat the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Obama and abortion rights forces in IL have said the bill would have undermined the landmark Supreme Court case on abortion, Roe v. Wade….
BornAliveTruth.org is organized as a nonprofit entity commonly known as a 527 for the section of the tax code that regulates such groups. Unlike political action groups, these organizations can raise money from individuals in unlimited amounts. The main donor of BornAliveTruth is Raymond Ruddy, a prominent anti-abortion figure in MS who supported Mitt Romney for president in the GOP primary.
The ad features Gianna Jessen, a 31-year-old motivational speaker from Nashville, TN, adopted as a child after a failed abortion. “Sen. Obama, please support born alive infant protections. I’m living proof these babies have a right to live.”
As a state senator, Obama voted three times against a bill that would have given legal protections to any aborted fetus that showed signs of life. The measure was virtually identical to a bill President Bush signed into law in 2002.
While Obama has said he would have supported the federal law, he and other opponents of the IL bill have said it would have had greater consequences on state laws governing abortion. The Obama campaign also has pointed out that IL already had legislation protecting aborted fetuses that were born alive and were considered able to survive.
Jill Stanek, an organizer of BornAgainTruth, said the IL legislation would protect pre-viable fetuses as well. “He took a leadership role in seeing that this bill did not see the light of day,” she said.
