You are wrong about the President not being able to do anything about abortion. Roe vs Wade was a battle that stated abortion was a women's right to choose. However there is only one supreme court justice that is keeping the republicans from overturning this. This supreme court justice is a democrat that is waiting for Bush to leave office to retire because if McCain or Bush is in office they will appoint a republican supreme court justice that will take his place. With that one more justice they will be able to overturn the ruling on Roe vs Wade and make abortion illegal. Obama needs to win to keep abortion a choice. No one is for abortion, however considering that a lot of women who cannot get abortions commit Self Delete or conduct their own unsafe abortions, I believe if the circumstances are so severe they must kill a human, it is only fair to assume that it is the right thing to do.
