John McCain said Roe v. Wade is flawed and must be overturned.

Sen. John McCain is anything BUT a moderate when it comes to a woman’s right to choose. Since 1983 Sen. McCain has cast 125 anti-choice votes out of 130 opportunities.

But it gets worse. Sen. McCain has never cosponsored or supported legislation that would prevent unintended pregnancy or reduce the need for abortion. We can’t let John McCain become our next president. Not if we value women's reproductive freedom!

McCain’s record is deplorable! And it’s going to be an uphill battle to spread the truth about “The Real McCain.”

Clinton Praises "Moderate" McCain

ABC's Z. Byron Wolf Reports: At a stop in rural Pennsylvania, over winding roads and through rolling hills in small Lewistown, PA, where people lined the streets to watch his motorcade approach, former President Bill Clinton had high praise for the man who has clinched the nomination for the other party.

Mr. Clinton said all three major candidates remaining in the race are talented and special people.

He did not go into detail on Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois Senator still locked in political combat with Sen. Clinton's wife for the Democratic nomination. Their next battle takes place next month in Pennsylvania.

But McCain, who Mr. Clinton said is a "moderate", "has given about all you can give for this country without dyin' for it."

He said McCain was on the right side of issues like being against torture of enemy combatants and global warming, which "just about crosses the bridge for them (Republicans)."

The praise from Clinton comes as McCain, with the Republican nomination locked up and trying to rebrand his Maverick label, has tried to distance himself from President Bush, most notably on foreign policy. In a speech this week McCain talked about the need for more diplomacy.

But Clinton told the audience in the Lewistown High School auditorium - less partisan than his events in more populated areas if the man in the Huckabee shirt that Clinton pointed out is any indication - that the race should not be about the past, it is about who is going to do more for the country in the future. And that person, he said, is his wife Hillary.

1. All I know is we better all come together soon and beat

this old bastard.. They way we are split and the venom that is being spewed from both sides causes me great concern for our party... We cannot let this old bastard win....

[NJmaverick]

2. A perfect reason why we ALL must work together to stop this man

A good reminder of what's at stake

[JeffR]

3. Yep. While people here on the left are making ludicrous allegations

about Obama's statement on essentially the same subject. Go figure, huh?

[Lerkfish]

4. let's get serious, though, the reason the republicans will NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade

is because its their favorite wedge issue to GOTV for fundies. They can have sex with a dead donkey live on cable and fundies will still vote for them as long as they dangle that Roe v. Wade carrot over their heads.

If and when they ever DO eliminate it, the fundies stay home in droves.

8. It will continue to be a wedge issue even if it is overturned

Your point is moot. Even if Roe was overturned it would continue to be a wedge issue with people who consider abortion immoral.
That's because there would always be a "threat" to recreate it (or so the republicans would say). So if they could, the republican party would overturn it with impunity and use maintenance of the new status quo as the threat.

9. well its hard to disagree with you when you make a valid point.

What do feminist principles say about overturning Roe v Wade?

[MadBadger]

7. Okay Fake Outrage Patrol of the Clintonite Nation, shift your focus to something that matters.

McCain means a third Bush term.

11. Must be all his experience guiding him to want to regulate the female body.

With experience like this, who needs condoms?
