This is from a religious newspaper called Southwest Kansas Faith and Family
http://www.swkfaithandfamily.org/
I picked it up free at a restaurant in Dodge City, KS this morning.
Yes, I realize it's a very slanted religious publication and it's distributed in a very red corner of a very red state. But that doesn't make it any less appalling. Have you seen ANY Obama ads that even mention abortion? I haven't. And you know what? Neither have the people who live in southwest Kansas. In fact, I'd be surprised if they have seen ANY Obama ads at all. Does anyone think he is running any ads in that market? I've only seen a few here in eastern Kansas and they are aired on Missouri TV stations.
So the people who are reading this religious newspaper have no idea if Obama really does have ads that talk about abortion. But if it's in their local religious newspaper, why wouldn't they believe every word of it?

So of course they'll believe this.
