75% of pro-choice voters need to know the truth: John McCain does not support a woman's right to choose

You are incorrect.  Senator John Glenn was also a member of the Keating 5 scandal.

Senator Glenn is helping Barack Obama out with his election.  The two links below have more information.

I'm pro-abortion, but the money spent on legal and political battles over this might have brought us better contraceptives long ago.

Aside from obvious criminal situations*, why are the current contraceptives not being used or not working?

Apparently part of the problem is that some anti-abortion groups are also anti-contraception, even opposing condoms.  Palin is an exception to this. She supports sex education in schools to teach children about condoms, as "some may not learn this at home." In a recent interview asking about abortion, she said she was strongly for contraception as the solution, iirc.

Palin may be the leader who can bring the 'social conservatives' around to accepting contraception -- and actually get some better contraceptives developed.

*rape, incest, etc 

The SC already has a conservative majority. Remember 2000? It was the Supreme Court that ruled for Bush and against Gore. Since then, the GOP had 6 years of a GOP congress and appointed yet more conservative justices. I think if they really wanted to overturn RvW, they would have at least made a serious attempt by 2005, at their greatest strength. I think cynical politicians on both sides really want RvW to continue as a hot issue to keep their bases energized, and distract from other concerns.

I knew this but I am surprised by how many women do not.  I will print some of those flyers to add to our voter registration tables in the coming weeks.

ANY VOTE FOR MCCAIN, OTHER THAN HIS AND CINDY'S, IS A MISTAKE. HIS VOTING RECORD ON ALL VETERAN RELATED ISSUES IS SHAMEFUL. HE IS THE ONLY REMAINING POLITICAL FIGURE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE CHARLES KEATING FIASCO (MCCAIN WAS CENSURED BY CONGRESS REGARDING HIS ROLE) WHICH CAUSED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE (MOSTLY SENIOR CITIZENS) TO LOSE MUCH, IF NOT ALL OF THEIR LIFE'S SAVINGS. LINCOLN THRIFT; REMEMBER? 

 STAN LEVINE, ARIZONA

for McCain's fake "moderate" reputation. This false reputation is a work of PR genius...and its also a reason the Dems better settle the nomination stet- before McCain garners more independent support while also pandering to Conservatives!

Thanks for following-up on this Morra. I think it is so important that voters know the truth about this issue. I totally don't agree with voting on a candidate over one issue, and I know you don't either...But, any Dems thinking about voting for McCain if the Democrat they are supporting doesn't get the nomination, is just crazy not smart. I can only assume that many of these Democrats are not aware of McCain's ANTI-CHOICE agenda.

... since I saw Catherine's post.  There is no doubt that he will appoint ultra-conservative justices to the Supreme Court so that Roe would be overturned.  On his web page, he also comments that others should turn to adoption as a choice, which his family did.  As a mother by adoption, it infuriates me that people like McCain try to rely on the adoption argument to support their efforts to interfere in such personal decisions.
