A new poll suggests that Obama has and edge among pro-choice Independents and Republicans.
The nation's largest abortion-rights group today released a poll of likely women voters in 12 battleground states that suggests presumed GOP presidential nominee John McCain could lose the support of significant numbers of independent and pro-choice Republican women—if they area educated about the Arizona senator's antiabortion voting record.
Remember, though, the poll was given by NARAL and women were asked to choose between a candidate who "believes that the decision to have an abortion is profoundly difficult for women and families and that these decisions are personal, between a woman, her family, her God, and her doctor, and that politicians should stay out of it" and one who "opposes a woman's right to choose" and would overturn Roe v. Wade--between a caring believer and an opposing overturner. Remember, too, that Bush held the same regressive positions on women's rights. Still, if you care at all about reproductive rights--or women's rights in general--, the choice is very clear.
