Well, according to Santorum, McCain as a matter of practice blocked virtually all pro-life, pro-family legislation in the backrooms of the Senate.
“Santorum disclosed what happened behind the scenes when he held meetings to gather votes for proposed legislation, telling Levine (sic), “That discussion is held in private, where you’re jostling and jockeying to get your legislation into the queue so that you can have your time on the floor to get something done.”
“And I can tell you, when social-conservative issues were ever raised — whether it was marriage or abortion or a whole host of other issues — there were always the moderates who said ‘no, no, no, we can’t: they’re divisive, divisive, divisive.’ And more often than not, John McCain was . . . with them” in preventing votes on such issues.”

McCain supports the destruction of human embryos for experimentation.
McCain as a matter of course has always pushed pro-abort candidates.
Like Gerald R. Ford he is pro-choice for states.
I could go on, but I’m tired...
Thanks EV, puts a whole new persepective on McCain.
That is unsurprising. During his primary bid in 2000 he talked about taking control of the party away from the Falwell and Pat Robertson types. IIRC, he even mentioned that he might not support repeal of Roe v. Wade. Truth be told, I don’t think McCain holds strong views of any type regarding abortion. He’ll talk like a pro-abort if it benefits him (i.e. when he was trying to position himself as the liberal Republican alternative to George W. Bush), and he’ll talk like a pro-lifer if he thinks that will help him win.
Right...thats why they never challenged it on a FEDERAL level...sounds like more progressive horse-pucky to me....
