Do you agree with Senator McCain's votes to give Planned Parenthood hundreds of millions of the taxpayer's dollars?
"I think John McCain is going to have trouble making the case, when on almost every single issue that's important to women, he's been on the wrong side," Obama said. "You know, he is in favor of judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade."
To all but the "smart" people, there would seem to be a rather marked distinction between the candidates.
. . .Obama has received the endorsement of several pro-choice groups, including NARAL Pro-Choice America and Emily's List, and in coming days likely will receive an endorsement from Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider. National Right to Life has endorsed McCain.
Obama has pledged to nominate only judges who support legal concepts at the heart of Roe and also has said he "will not yield" on such a "fundamental" issue as abortion. He has said the "first thing" he would do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act, a proposed law that would codify abortion-on-demand as the law of the land and also overturn every pro-life law -- such as mandatory waiting periods, parental notifications and partial-birth abortion bans -- on the federal and state level.
