Senator Obama is hitting back at Senator Clinton's attacks on his abortion rights record in a new mailer sent to Nevada homes today.

"Hillary Clinton is making misleading attacks on Barack Obama's 100% pro-choice voting record," one side of the mail piece reads. The other side: "Hillary Clinton's false attacks won't protect a woman's right to choose, but as president, Barack Obama will."

The mailer also quotes a former Clinton supporter who switched to Mr. Obama after the attacks began. Mrs. Clinton's campaign has been hammering Mr. Obama over his record in the Illinois state Senate, when he voted "present" instead of "no" on seven bills that were seen as infringing on a woman's right to choose.

Mr. Obama has said it was part of a legislative strategy backed by abortion rights groups.

The mailer is here.
