many will know I just drew back the curtain on an ugly press release put out about NY's NOW chapter here is something good from the Nation NOW website about Obama:
http://www.now.org/lists/now-action-list/msg00322.html"Restore Affordable Birth Control to Low Income and College Women
With your help, we can undo the sneak attack on birth control that has already resulted in up to tenfold increases in contraception costs for college students and low-income women this year.
Congress is coming back for two weeks in December, and will have a chance to make a technical change that will reinstate the price reductions that have made birth control affordable for low-income and college women...
...Contact your senators and representative right now and ask them to sponsor and support the Prevention Through Affordable Access Act (H.R. 4054 and S.2347) and to vote for it, if it is attached to a "must pass" bill such as the Medicare Physician Payment Fix...
...These bills introduced by Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) and
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) would fix that provision in the DRA, and restore the ability of pharmaceutical companies to offer these discounts.
Act now to ensure the restoration and continuation of this important and affordable reproductive health option. NOW's legislative action center will provide a sample letter for legislators depending on whether they have or have not signed on as co-sponsors of this act.

So in good spirit I would like to point out that I couldn't find anything egregious about Obama from the national NOW site and I found a link giving credit for Obama's ongoing support of women's rights issues.
Needless to say, he has 100% ratings from a variety of women's rights organizations on issues of reproductive freedom.
