    July 29, 1999: Alan Keyes releases an attack ad which showed the graphic process of a partial birth abortion in order to attack Colin Powell and Christine Whitman.

    Later that day Keyes would say "It dosent surprise me that the Democratic Party a party that supports the murderous policy of abortion has allowed Ted Kennedy a murderer to continue to be a candidate."
