Republican presidential candidate John McCain made a stop in the Show-Me state Thursday.
During a town hall meeting with about 1,000 people, he discussed soaring energy prices, the war, and our dependence on foreign oil.
He also spoke about a touchy subject with many Americans... abortion.
McCain explained the difference between him and democratic candidate Barack Obama on the issue.
"He voted against a ban on partial birth abortions. My friends, that's a hideous procedure. It should never been allowed any place on earth. That's a great difference. That's a great difference between the two of us. And you can count on my active advocacy for the rights of the unborn," McCain said.
McCain also declared himself the underdog in Missouri.
A poll released earlier this week shows Obama slightly ahead of McCain in the state.
