John McCain has been lying about Barack Obama's position on abortion, and now Obama is fighting back - hard.

There are several impressive parts of this ad. First, Obama uses the word LIE in large type. Second, Obama attacks McCain for wanting "to ban abortion, even in cases of rape and incest."

Obama could hit even harder with abortion, but this is a good start.

Here's what Obama said in Florida yesterday:

Obama also mentioned that McCain called Roe v. Wade a "flawed decision" and was running on a platform to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest, an issue some of his campaign's ads have highlighted.

"Change means a president who will stand up for choice, who understands that five men on the Supreme Court don't know better than women and their families and their doctors about what's best for their health," he said. "That's why I fought so hard in Illinois and Washington to stop laws that overturn Roe v Wade. That's why I am committed to appointing judges who understand how law operates in our daily lives, judges who will uphold the values at the core of our constitution. That's why I will never back down from defending a woman's right to choose."
