A survey of presidential hopefuls by the pro-abortion group NARAL found that all of the Democratic contenders support abortion.
According to LifeNews.com, NARAL President Nancy Keenan wrote in an e-mail to supporters that she was proud her group was the "first pro-choice organization to provide statements directly from these candidates."
NARAL asked contenders from both parties to offer their opinions about abortion.
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., responded, "I believe in the freedom of women to make their own decisions about the most personal and significant matters affecting their lives."
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., wrote, "It is not just an issue of choice, but equality and opportunity for all women."
John Edwards, the former senator from North Carolina, wrote, "A woman's decision about whether to become a parent is one of the most important life decisions that she can face."
But the candidates are masking what their positions really represent, according to Focus on the Family Action Senior Bioethics Analyst Carrie Gordon Earll.
"If you take a closer look at what these candidates stand for, you see how radical they are in defending the killing of preborn children," she said. "Senator Clinton and former Senator Edwards voted against federal bans on partial birth abortion and all three condemned the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding a federal law against that gruesome act. They support unrestricted abortion without limit, and that's not what most Americans want in public policy."
