Verástegui, whose Mexican soap operas have been seen in more than 50 countries and by 10 million people in the United States, opposes the candidacy of Democrat Barack Obama because of his stance on abortion. Verástegui recently released a graphic video showing abortions as part of his call for voters to reject Obama.
