Did you know that John McCain is anti-choice? It's true—John McCain has a 0% rating from Planned Parenthood when it comes to a whole slew of reproductive choice issues. He's against comp sex ed, for the global gag rule, for an abortion ban—-and the list goes on.  He's completely out of touch with the majority of the country. Perhaps you already knew that but, unfortunately, about half of women in battle ground states have no idea where John McCain stands on these crucial issues. In a recent poll conducted by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, it was found that:

• * Despite his extreme voting record, 51 percent of women voters in battleground states have no idea what John McCain's positions are on women's reproductive health issues
• * Forty-nine percent of women currently backing McCain express pro-choice views, and 46 percent of women supporting McCain over Obama/Clinton want to see Roe v. Wade upheld.
• * In McCain-Obama/McCain-Clinton matchups, 36 percent and 38 percent, respectively, of pro-choice McCain supporters say they are less likely to vote for McCain when told that he opposes Roe v. Wade.

I don't know about you, but I find this whole situation pretty troubling. Imagine what visiting a family planning clinic might be like John McCain had his say.

You can watch a 3rd scenario here.

It is vital that people really understand what they are getting when they are voting for John McCain. So spread the word.
