It’s kind of ironic that at the same time Obama tries to moderate his position on abortion, he gets endorsed by Planned Parenthood, a group as far to the left on abortion as one can get:
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), saying his 100 rating by the fund for consistently backing pro-abortion legislation makes him the best choice for president.
“Sen. Obama supports a woman’s right to choose and is a co-sponsor of the Freedom of Choice Act, which would codify and protect a woman’s right to choose,” Anne Brewer, Women for Obama coordinator for the Obama campaign, said in her blog on the Democratic hopeful’s official Web site.
Meanwhile, Obama’s public rightward shift on abortion enrages the left, but doesn’t fool everyone else.
