That is assuming she agrees significantly more with Obama's views than McCain's. There are a surprising number of people, of both sexes, who find things they agree with from both sides. For those people who consider abortion a litmus test issue, well, they are going to vote democrat is they are pro abortion rights, and republican if they are against abortion rights. It's those people who do not consider abortion a litmus test, and who are in the middle, that are the ones that each candidate has to win. Saying that undecided women will fall in line because of abortion is simplistic and not necccessarily accurate.
