What's at stake this election? Senator Obama is clear:
With one more vacancy on the Supreme Court, we could be looking at a majority hostile to a women's fundamental right to choose for the first time since Roe v. Wade. The next president may be asked to nominate that Supreme Court justice. That is what is at stake in this election.
That's from his statement on the 35th Anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. But he even went further: he vowed to pass the Freedom of Choice Act. If you aren't aware of the Freedom of Choice Act, now is the time to become familiar. You can read the full text here.
Basically the Freedom of Choice Act would, on a federal level, invalidate any laws (even state laws) that limit abortion in any way. It's a despicable way of preventing voters from standing in the way of abortion. And how does Senator Obama put it?
The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do.
-- Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007
Don't mislead yourself: Senator Obama worships at the altar of abortion. Remember, he blocked a bill that would have required doctors to provide medical attention to babies accidentally born after a botched abortion. This isn't your average abortion candidate, he's a serious supporter and brags (in the link above even) about his 100% perfect rating from the abortion lobby.
Vote pro-life. Vote McCain.
God bless,

Dear Jay:
Thank you for this article. I had not seen it. While I am keenly aware of Obama's heinous abortion positions, I found it quite interesting that he said signing the "Freedom of Choice Act" would be the "first thing" he would do as president. Chilling.
