this was in my email box when i got home from work yesterday

(and it made me happy - as did the news john edwards is ALSO backing barack obama)

Dear a rose,

.I'm excited to announce that today, NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama for president! We have been so fortunate to have two fully pro-choice candidates running for the Democratic nomination, and we praised both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama for their leadership in standing up for women's reproductive rights. But only one candidate can advance to the general election.NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC is making our endorsement now because every day that passes, Sen. McCain gets a free ride on the issue of choice. That free ride ends today.Too many voters think that McCain is a moderate. Can someone who's voted anti-choice 125 times out of 130 opportunities on abortion and other reproductive-rights issues be a moderate?It's time to put that myth to rest. To win in November, NARAL Pro-Choice America will educate swing voters who can tip this election: Republican and Indepdendent women. And we cannot let one more day go by without comparing Sen. Obama's fully pro-choice record to Sen. McCain's anti-choice record.On one hand, we have Sen. Obama—who has been a fully pro-choice ally from day one and whom women can trust.And on the other hand, we have Sen. John McCain—who has gone even further than George W. Bush in his anti-choice rhetoric by directly calling for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.I believe that Sen. Obama is the leader who can unify our country behind commonsense ways to prevent unintended pregnancy.We need you to be a part of our work to defeat Sen. McCain and elect Sen. Obama.
send an ecard to your friends to educate them about Sen. Obama's record on choice.

my comment (which i left on the narl website)

i tip my hat to narl. it is beyond belief how angry some are (including now) for one reason and one reason alone. it has NOTHING to do with choice mind you. it has to do with having particular genitalia (or not having it).
i support barack obama and have always supported him. i support him because he is THE BEST CHOICE. not because of gender. not because of religion. not because of skin color. i believe he is the most honest candidate. the most sincere candidate. i believe he GENUINELY cares about women. is he perfect? no. then again, neither am i
