Throughout his career in the Senate, John McCain has had a record of joining with the Bush Administration to take away women's rights and reproductive healthcare options.
At a forum in August, he pledged that "I will be a pro-life president and this presidency will have pro-life policies." And now, he has nominated anti-choice advocate Sarah Palin to be his running-mate.
Together, this would be the most anti-choice presidential campaign ever. Senator McCain and Governor Palin support:
- A ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest;
- The overturn of Roe v. Wade; and
- Anti-choice judges.
Throughout his service in the Senate, McCain has also repeatedly voted to slash funding for low-income family-planning programs, against allowing women to obtain birth control and to take away women's right to choose.
Tell Senator McCain: I know your record of following the Bush Administration's plans to take away women's rights, and I want you to be clear about it to all Americans.

Sarah Palin is an incompetent moron. She was the worst possible choice as a running mate...... SHE IS WHY YOU LOST! If the GOP expects to have any future they better find someone better than her.

It is no ones business but my own and that of my doctors to decide what is best for me. I personally would not have an abortion unless I were raped however -I- understand that I have no right to make moral judgments of that of others.

I am appalled at your views on women's health. women are also a part of this nation and we have the right to choose what we do with our bodies. It's cruelty to force a woman to carry the child of a rapist or an incestuous rapist, are you trying to say that a woman should be punished when she committed no crime? Would you feel this strongly if your child was raped and became pregnant by it?

Dear Senator McCain,
Slate and Newsweek political columnist Dahlia Lithwick recently wrote that "John McCain is banking on his reputation as an independent maverick to snooker voters into thinking that his abortion views are centrist, no matter what he actually says. It's a risky strategy: Don't believe what I say. Believe what you used to believe before I opened my mouth."
As a voter concerned with women's rights and healthcare options, I urge you to be straight about your views on this topic.
Sincerely, Milena
