I generally like to read the opinion pieces at CNN, because it usually shows bias towards Democrats, and you and point it out rather easily. Sometimes it's subtle, other times it's blatant. But they've never really gone for the "fear mongering" type of argument until today:
Make it clear to women, especially white women, that Roe v. Wade will be extinct if McCain wins. The next president is going to choose three Supreme Court justices.
There is no way -- no way -- that the religious right will let a President McCain appoint anyone with a moderate bone in his or her body. Remember Harriet Miers? Bush even said he knew her heart, and they told him to go to hell.
What Obama has to tell those women, who are supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton in huge numbers, and will be disappointed if she's not the nominee, is that sitting at home on Election Day, or crossing the aisle and voting for McCain, virtually assures that a woman's right to choose what to do with her body will be taken from her.
That's right folks, if McCain is elected President, women will lose their right to have an abortion. Never mind the massive amounts of legal precedent, never mind the Supreme Court decision, never mind that it hasn't been overturned in 30+ years and that includes going through 24 years of a Republican President. Yep, John McCain is just the guy to end it all for the ladies.
This is fear mongering that Democrats like to throw into Republicans faces when they speak of threats like Al-Qaeda. "You're fear mongering!" they all say. The only difference is, is that Al-Qaeda is a real threat, and Roe Vs. Wade isn't going to be overturned.
