OUR NEXT PRESIDENT AND ABORTION -- PRO- or ANTI-?

When making your choice for our next president, is his/her stand on abortion an important factor? If so, maybe reading this article will interest you.

My own position on this is pro-choice. One doesn't have to like abortion, it is not a pretty thing, but it is the right of women, and only women, to make that choice. It is more important to create a society where men and women have the opportunity to provide themselves with medically approved and safe means of preventing pregnancy, than to deny women the right to abortion. When pregnancy is the result of violence what sane person would make it a crime?

Senator John McCain's voting record is clearly anti-abortion. He may be avoiding mentioning it these days but it is not something that can be covered up for long. Even recently I have come across opinions published in newspapers that Republicans are unsure of McCain's abortion stance. Is that just a ploy to influence the independent voters?

How many other presidential candidates are trying to cloud inconvenient truths?
