This opinion piece from an advocacy group has some useful information but is marred by the prejudices of the author. The constant use of "anti-choice" instead of the standard "pro-life" is unfortunate since no journalist would use the former phrase, nor would any editor allow it. The author distorts the position of National Right to Life, which in its current newsletter gives Senator McCain high marks for support of pro-life positions. The author also neglects to report at all on the ratings of Senators Clinton and Obama, which are completely pro-abortion. The piece would have read quite differently if they had been included.
