... don't vote for McCain.

In July, for example, a Pew poll showed that 56 percent of the electorate didn't know where McCain stood on abortion. [...] In 2000, McCain begged Bush to amend language in the GOP platform, which calls for a human-life amendment banning all abortions and provides no exceptions for rape, incest, or danger to the life of the mother. This week he indicated that he won't work to change that platform. That's a position espoused by fewer than 20 percent of the electorate. [...] He has bragged about his consistent zero rating from NARAL. He has explicitly said that his Supreme Court choices will be animated by his desire to overturn Roe.

Now, Barack Obama has taken some flak for his "above my pay grade" response to the question of when life begins at Saddleback. It was an artless attempt to connect with the 60 percent of Americans who believe that the abortion issue is simply too complicated for a five-word answer. John McCain really wants you to know that his answer is very, very simple.
