Obama goes on THE OFFENSIVE on Abortion!

Radio ad: Buys in all the key states.

"As president, John McCain will make abortion illegal. (McCain) "I do not support Roe v. Wade. It should be overturned."

RUSSERT: "A constitutional amendment to ban all abortions. You’re for that?"
McCAIN: "Yes, sir."

We can’t let John McCain take away our right to choose. We can’t let him take us back.


It's hard to express how significant this is. How long have Democrats been on the defensive on choice?

Once again - Obama lets them overplay their hand, and counter punches with exquisite timing. WOOT

2.  I like this a LOT
It's time our side quit trying to duck the abortion issue and do the usual skulking around about it. Meet it square on is what I say, so I'm happy to see this.

Now we need to see one about Supreme Court Justices in the same ilk.

7. This is fabulous.
I'm so glad to see leadership on this from Obama's camp. At the end of the day, the issue isn't one of abortion but privacy and rights, all of which the McCain camp is claiming for Palin and her daughter.
