Obama has come out strongly in favor of reproductive freedom He supports Roe v Wade, has voted "no" on notifying parents of minors who get out of state abortions, and is rated O% by the National Right to Life Committee, indicating a very strong pro-choice stance. When South Dakota passed a law barring all abortions, in a direct challenge to Roe v Wade, he spoke out vigorously against that law.

Yet when Ted Kennedy yesterday declared his support for Obama, the president of the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women reacted by saying that this move by Kennedy is "the ultimate betrayal".

Why would Ted Kennedy's support of Obama be "the ultimate betrayal"? Why is support for Obama, whose support for women's rights is easily comparable to that of Hillary, "the ultimate betrayal"?
