I am not affiliated with Hillary Clinton's campaign; I am simply a supporter, but I'm concerned about Senator Obama's record on a woman's right to choose.

I thought this problem was addressed by the Obama campaign's response video, but it appears that his video (presented by a former NOW president who is possibly now anti-choice) was entirely misleading, based on new information.

During Sen. Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign, the Illinois NOW PAC did not recommend the endorsement of Obama for U.S. Senate because he refused to stand up for a woman’s right to choose and repeatedly voted ‘present’ on important legislation.

As a State Senator, Barack Obama voted ‘present’ on seven abortion bills, including a ban on 'partial birth abortion,' two parental notification laws and three 'born alive' bills. In each case, the right vote was clear, but Sen. Obama chose political cover over standing and fighting for his convictions.

These present votes are seriously disturbing and all of us should be aware of the facts before voting.
