McCain's Catholic Problem: Abortion - Compare and Contrast

Barrack Obama believes in solutions that reduce the number of abortions, by recognizing that health care and education help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies. This will reduce the number of abortions. Obama strongly supports a woman's decision to have a child by ensuring access to programs for pre- and post-natal health care, parenting skills, income support, and caring adoption programs. Barrack Obama will empower women to choose life over abortion.

John McCain and the Republican party have stricken abortion reduction language from the RNC platform and returned to the divisive abortion politics of the past thirty years. They would rather try unsuccessfully to overturn Roe V Wade, thus still allowing abortions to be performed at the state level. Abortions will still remain at an all time high and available on demand. Nothing will change other than availability in some ultra conservative states. McCain and Bush offer no other options or support for women who have actual life decisions to make.

McCain and the Republicans offer no commitment at all to supporting policies that have been proven to encourage women to continue with an unintended pregnancy.

Real pro-life policy vs pro birth rhetoric.

Catholic voters look forward to an Obama Presidency that offers real solutions to address the abortion issue and will not be fooled by the failed policies of the past.
