Words: Obama feels women should be trusted to make their own decisions on abortion and that they should be legally available, but also supports unwanted pregnancy prevention measures.

Actions: Obama voted FOR funding to reduce teen pregnancy through education and contraception (2005) and AGAINST notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions (2006).

UPDATE: Former President of Chicago NOW, Lorna Brett Howard, describes Senator Obama as the strongest advocate in the Senate in the fight for choice in South Dakota.
