McCain of the Many Houses on women's choice

Another memory from the campaign trail.

Sarah Posner in the 08/20/08 installment of the FundamentaList at The American Prospect Online focuses on McCain thoroughly anti-choice position:

But could it turn out that McCain's answers on abortion that so thrilled the religious right will finally highlight for misguided pro-choice voters that McCain is, as Sarah Blustain's recent piece lays out, a pro-life zealot? As Blustain and others have reported, up to half of McCain's support from women comes from those who are pro-choice, and 70 percent of those women are unaware of his clear anti-choice record. So even if Obama didn't win any evangelical hearts that he hadn't already captured before Saturday, pro-choice women mistakenly supporting McCain might just have been persuaded.

The religious right has stepped up its campaign to portray Obama as an infanticidal liar. Fueled by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the Obama-is-a-lying-baby-killer story line is also promoted by anti-choice darling Jill Stanek, who has commemorated Griswold v. Connecticut by naming its anniversary day "The Pill Kills Day" and believes that the Chinese eat sweet-and-sour fetuses. (my emphasis)
