A major abortion rights group is joining the major Democratic constituencies in getting out the vote for Barack Obama.

NARAL Pro-Choice America is sending a celebrity-filled video to its 500,000 members today.

The video shows actors including Jack Black, Amy Madigan, Ed Harris, Harold Ramis, and Bradley Whitford, plus ordinary Americans talking about choice, then the future, then Obama, then holding up signs saying simply, "Vote."

NARAL and other abortion rights groups have been targeting women in particular with the message that Obama supports abortion rights and that Republican John McCain supports overturning Roe v. Wade and returning the issue to the states.
