Ohio Democrats are WORRIED About Losing Women

Ohio Democrats are WORRIED about losing women in the upcoming election. How do I know? Because I have an emailer who says that she has received not one, but two, mailers lying about John Sidney McCain's position on abortion.
They are both directed to women and say that McCain supports a constitutional amendment to ban all abortions.

States McCain is running on this years Republican platform that bans all abortions including rape and incest.

John McCain voted to criminalize doctors who support women in their reproductive choices, even when a woman's health is at risk.
For the record, here is John Sidney McCain's position on overturning Roe v. Wade:
John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.

Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.

However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion. Once the question is returned to the states, the fight for life will be one of courage and compassion - the courage of a pregnant mother to bring her child into the world and the compassion of civil society to meet her needs and those of her newborn baby. The pro-life movement has done tremendous work in building and reinforcing the infrastructure of civil society by strengthening faith-based, community, and neighborhood organizations that provide critical services to pregnant mothers in need. This work must continue and government must find new ways to empower and strengthen these armies of compassion. These important groups can help build the consensus necessary to end abortion at the state level. As John McCain has publicly noted, "At its core, abortion is a human tragedy. To effect meaningful change, we must engage the debate at a human level."
Maybe Ohio Democrats just don't know how to read... I blame T-Shirt Ted for that...

UPDATE: Here is an Ohio woman that Ohio Democrats lost to McCain/Palin...
