Women for Barack Obama is a grassroots effort to connect women with information about Barack Obama and his position on issues important to us. As the nation moves toward the general election, it's even more essential to learn the facts about Barack Obama vs. John McCain. 

Barack Obama has a strong legislative record of protecting and empowering women. During his 11 combined years in the Illinois State Senate and the U.S. Senate, he has sponsored and co-sponsored dozens of legislative initiatives benefiting women.

In stark contrast, John McCain has consistently voted against women’s issues including, health care, family planning, reproductive rights and more. He also favors overturning Roe v. Wade.  A vote for McCain is not only a vote against women's issues, but a vote for continuing the Bush administration's failed policies. McCain supported President Bush’s positions 95 percent of the time in 2007 and an average of 89 percent over Bush’s two terms in office [Congressional Quarterly Voting Study, 110th Congress].
