Washington, DC -- A new poll finds only a handful of women are turned off to voting for John McCain because of his running mate Sarah Palin's abortion views. The survey also finds women split on the McCain-Barack Obama contest and 23 percent of Hillary Clinton backers supporting McCain.

I admire the fortitude it took to bring Trig into this world. The Palins deserve respect for that.

That's hardly representative of key pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and NARAL, who say millions of women will oppose McCain and Palin when they learn the governor is pro-life.

And what is the opposite of 'pro-life'? Evidently PP and NARAL don't have the tools to figure it out.

Maybe that’s because “real” women don’t slaughter their young....

I can't see how this race is close if Mccain is getting 23% of Hillary voters. How can the Obamination win an election when a big chunk of his party is voting for the other guy?
