It is a struggle that my family, peers, and hundreds of thousands of Americans share country wide. It is a struggle that, in the end, may be the key to your presidential win or loss. Based on a keen understanding of all the candidates' views, I believe that McCain is the best overall candidate for president. I say this because I agree with so much of his platform, including his positions on such major issues as: understanding of the role of technology in education, removal of marriage penalty tax as part of tax reform (finally!), foreign policy, workplace equality, finance reform, removal of special interests, affordable child care, and more. However, I am TERRIFIED of voting in a president who presents even a slight risk of assigning Supreme Court Justices who would make abortion illegal. Please understand that I am not against limitations on abortion in certain circumstances (late term, under age, etc.), but that the removal of ANY legal means of abortion for responsible adult women during the first few months of pregnancy is absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, this one negative, if not adequately addressed, will outweigh all the positives, and will in the end prevent me from voting for McCain for president. Unless properly assured that McCain will not assign rigidly pro-life Justices I, and many thousands of others sharing my views, will register Republican during the primaries in hope that McCain will beat out Bush, then reluctantly switch back to Democrat and vote for Gore, for the single reason that his platform, though flawed, includes reassurance that he will appoint pro-choice justices to the bench. As much of McCain's appeal is based on his character and sound judgment, I have hope that you will take this letter into account when formulating future campaign strategies. Thank you for your time.
