Polls are showing a big swing of independent and repub women to McCain, because of Palin. So something needs to be done to thwart that movement. Obama and Biden haven't done much yet, Hillary certainly hasn't helped (in FL she is not talking about Palin at all - just will speak to the issues). And the press is certainly not very helpful. The Obama campaign needs to do it itself.
Sarah Palin is against abortion except when the mother's life is at stake. She opposes it even in instances of rape.

Attacking this view would be a good way to make inroads. Give an example of the woman who was raped, and her arms cut off by the rapist. She was unconscious for days after and in severe emotional and physical anguish for a long afterwards. She learns she is pregnant from the rape and knows it will be a very difficult pregnancy for her physically. Additionally, knowing that it is the product of the sick man and incident that has wrecked her emotionally. She is repulsed at the thought of that thing inside of her.
She wants an abortion to make her life easier and to not allow the product of that monster to make it into the world, so she could get on with her healing. But sarah palin would insist that she go through with the pregnancy. Even if this was her own daughter!!
This is absolutely a sick position. I can't help but think that an aggressive ad campaign along these lines would have a huge impact on women.
