http://www.prolifeproobama.com/TITLE: Can you be pro-life and support Senator Obama? The answer - upon even a moment's reflection - is unequivocally yes.
excerpt:
"As Ronald Reagan's legal counsel and as a dean and professor at Catholic University and Notre Dame, I have worked to put the law on the side of life where it belongs.
I believe we are all called to build a culture of life - but there's more to it than just hoping that the next Supreme Court justice somehow deals with Roe v. Wade. A bad economy is threatening to human life. Women facing the moral tragedy of abortion - are facing it, now, today - and they need a supportive community and tangible help, not condemnation.
But after 35 years, a new approach is needed. Senator Barack Obama's strengthening of support for prenatal care, health care, maternity leave, and adoption will make help drastically reduce the numbers of abortions. Studies confirm it..."

http://www.catholics-united.org/Their flyer titled "Pro-life means action on behalf of ALL human life" is very good:
http://www.catholics-united.org/?q=pro-life-means-all-lifehere is an intro about that pamphlet on their home page:
October 5 is Pro-Life Sunday, and with the November elections just around the corner, some groups on the far right as using the occasion as an excuse to bombard Catholics and other people of faith with the message that all that matters in this election is a candidate's stated position on the legality of abortion. To help inform Catholics about the fullness of our Church's teachings on life, Catholics United has published a new flyer entitled "Pro-Life Means Action on Behalf of All Human Life."
We've seen this before. Although some of the groups that push this message are operating under a heartfelt desire to help the unborn, all-too-often this single-issue approach to values voting is designed to strongarm people of faith into voting for candidates who do not share our values. Candidates who believe in unjust and preemptive war, candidates who believe healthcare is a privilege for the most fortunate. Candidates who support torture and promote economic policies that place the wants of the few ahead of the needs of the many.
We produced this flyer at your request, and with the help of a Catholics United volunteer from Los Angeles. It helps paint a vision of a true pro-life agenda, and provides valuable talking points for activists who want to counter the far right's attempt to water down the social teachings of our church.
Their "Values Voter Guide" (which I just discovered) also looks good. Discusses both Obama and McCain with respect to 5 values: sanctity of life, human dignity, fairness and prosperity, national security, common good, and stewardship.
