To choose, or not to choose? That is the question on the issue of abortion that many American women will have to consider when voting for a new president in November. Many women who are disappointed with the loss of their favorite candidate, Hillary Clinton, have decided to walk backwards towards John McCain. What’s worse is that McCain has chosen Sarah Palin, an anti-abortion advocate, to sit in the vice president’s chair to boost his popularity among women.

It’s startling when you see women who are in favor of abortion rights support McCain and Palin. Where did their priorities get mixed up? The emotions of these women have clouded their minds, causing them to forget the issues at hand. Just because Clinton didn’t make it as the Democratic presidential nominee doesn’t mean you have to lose focus in the race.

According to a recent poll, about half of the women who support McCain don’t know his position on abortion, and more than a third of women who favor abortion rights and support McCain reconsidered after being told he opposes Roe v. Wade.

So here is a little tip, ladies: Palin and McCain are not for abortion rights. For any abortion rights advocates that plan on voting in November, keep one thing in mind: McCain and Palin are a dangerous pair on the issue of abortion.

Currently, 49 percent of women who are backing McCain are in favor of abortion rights and 46 percent who are for him want to see Roe v. Wade upheld.

Those numbers are pretty ironic considering that, on McCain’s website, in the first paragraph under the first section titled “Overturning Roe v. Wade,” within the page called “Human Dignity and the Sanctity of Life,” it conspicuously states, “John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned.”

Palin believes in that same notion as well. However, she will vote against abortion, even in cases of incest or rape.

A woman’s health would never be in consideration, ” . with the exception of a doctor’s determination that the mother’s life would end if the pregnancy continued,” as stated by Palin in the Eagle Forum Questionnaire. She is an extremist who does not have the interests of women at heart.

It is nice to know that another woman might be in office to represent you, but don’t let that notion muddle your ideas of what is important. If you are upset that things didn’t turn out the way you had hoped with Clinton, then so be it. But at this point, time is running short for these retaliatory antics that can cause the right to an abortion to be compromised.
