Thought I'd check out John McCain's website today. Yeah, I'm that bored.
Women, be afraid. Be very afraid. Well, if you value your reproductive rights, that is. His site says:
John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. He goes on to tout the "armies of compassion" that provide "critical services to pregnant women in need". Unfortunately, what he leaves out is that he, and other conservatives like him, only give a damn about the baby when it's in the womb! After that, the new mom and infant are on their own! Because babies aren't nearly as important to take care of as fetuses, right? It is absolutely hypocritical to restrict abortion because a fetus has a right to be born, but then to fail to support the mothers and babies in need once the baby is born. These babies need food stamps, health care, and lots of other things that McCain doesn't necessarily think they should get. I guess handing mom a pair of bootstraps as she leaves the hospital with the baby is enough. Women, especially all of you Hillary supporters who think you may support McCain--wake up!!!!!
On a more amusing note, McCain's site also has a "Protecting Marriage" section, and I quote:
"The family represents the foundation of Western Civilization and civil society and John McCain believes the institution of marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It is only this definition that sufficiently recognizes the vital and unique role played by mothers and fathers in the raising of children, and the role of the family in shaping, stabilizing, and strengthening communities and our nation."
Really? Don't you mean one man and as many women as he likes Mr. McCain?
