This edition of National Right to Life News discusses the upcoming battle between pro-life Sen. John McCain and pro-abortion Sen. Barack Obama in considerable depth. There is the story on page one, two editorials on page two, and a comparison piece on page five.

The contrast on abortion is so stark that pro-abortionists will use it to attempt to gin up their supporters against McCain and the media will hide it so as not to alert the public to Obama's extremist-by-any-definition position.

Bear in mind that should a baby somehow evade the abortionist's best efforts to kill her, Obama has a fall-back position. As an Illinois state senator he stymied (by his votes or by blocking action) a law which would have merely required that an abortion survivor receive the same level of medical care as a baby who is spontaneously born prematurely.

The following are just a few examples of what the two men have said about abortion.

McCain

At the 2008 March for Life rally, pro-life Senator Sam Brownback read a statement from McCain: "If I am fortunate enough to be elected as the next President of the United States, I pledge to you to be a loyal and unswerving friend of the right to life movement."

In mid-April McCain told MSNBC's Chris Matthews, "the rights of the unborn is one of my most important values."
