Obama, McCain differ sharply on women's issues
Both need the female vote to win By LIZ SIDOTI AND CHARLES BABINGTON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer NEW YORK -- It's women's week on the presidential campaign trail, judging from the attention that Barack Obama and John McCain are lavishing on female voters and issues especially important to them. Obama, campaigning here Thursday with former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, criticized McCain's opposition to an equal-pay Senate bill, his support for conservative-leaning Supreme Court justices and his objections to abortion rights. "I will never back down in defending a woman's right to choose," Obama said at a "Women for Obama" breakfast fundraiser.
