There has been remarkably little talk of the Supreme Court and the extreme views of McCain/Palin. Palin, a 72 y/o heartbeat away from the Presidency, opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest. McCain has espoused a more moderate position - he'd allow abortion in those cases - but the difference is academic. After all, they'd both appoint Supreme Court justices that would overturn Roe.

From a 2005 Pew Poll:
Abortion is a major issue for those at either end of the political spectrum, but it also is viewed as very important by younger women. Roughly three-quarters (76%) of women under age 50 rate abortion as a very important issue for the court; far fewer males in that age group (58%) see abortion as a high priority. Women under age 50 also are far more likely than older women to attach great importance to possible court rulings on abortion.
With these facts in mind, we asked CartWrightDale to create this ad for us:
We hope you'll help us pay for it... The funds we raise will, of course, determine the extent of our buy. That said, our goal is to air this nationally - at least one time - on The View.
In addition, we'll be uploading this video to SaysMe.tv; if you want to make your own buy, you can choose your own channel, market, time and number of views. As soon as our page is ready at SaysMe, I'll revisit this post and link it up.
