Re: Yeah...NARAL is right where I would go for unbiased political research

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of NARAL either. Thank you for pointing this out. The problem is, that while in theory states rights makes sense, on this issue I could see the vast majority of states voting to ban abortion - and extremely so. Some states would go so far as to outlaw it even in cases of rape and other horrors. Now, shouldn't I think that if the people have spoken, then we should respect that decision? Not in this case. Most of the people who would vote to ban abortion never have to deal with the realities of the issue or the complications surrounding it.

So, in theory I may agree with McCain on his over riding logic, the fact that he desires to put this particular choice into the hands of the states is worrisome to me. However, I don't think that he would actually act on this.

Should McCain become the Rep candidate, I will do more research. I'm thrilled that I might actually have to do real research to vote in Nov. Nothing makes me happier than having choices and tough decisions. So... maybe I should hold off on making any statements of preference for the time being.
