(LifeNews.com): A new poll finds half of voters don't know that presidential candidate John McCain is pro-life on abortion or that Barack Obama is pro-abortion. The survey shows that, when pro-life voters know that information, they support McCain by a three-to-one margin.
A new poll from the Pew Research Center finds voters are more interested in the 2008 election than they were the 2004 election, but they are less informed on where the candidates stand.
Pew finds that just 52 percent of voters rightly identify Obama as pro-abortion ("pro-choice" in the poll's terminology") and only 45 percent know John McCain is pro-life on abortion.
Among pro-life voters who know where the two candidates stand, McCain trounces Obama by a whopping 70-24 percentage point margin. Surprisingly, Obama has a one percent lead (43-42 percent) among pro-life voters who are uninformed about their abortion positions.
I personally witnessed this same issue while manning phone banks and working the polls for Pat Toomey in 2004 - a surprising number of pro-life voters were not sure of the abortion position of Pat Toomey and Arlen Specter. This frustration was also echoed by the former Chairman of the Butler County Chapter of the PA Pro-Life Federation. He mentioned that people would walk up to the Pro-Life booth at the Butler Farm Show expressing their pro-life support, while carrying campaign materials for pro-abortion candidates.

It goes even deeper than supporting abortion. Obama wants you to pay for them with your tax dollars as part of his "National Health Care" policy. Since when is killing someone part of "Health Care"?
