The Reason We SHOULD Discuss This! McCain fought money on teen pregnancy programs

McCain fought money on teen pregnancy programs

Link: http://www.kxmc.com/News/271036.asp

Clip: "McCain's position on contraceptives and teen pregnancy issues has been difficult to judge on the campaign trail, as he has appeared uncomfortable discussing such topics. But during more than two decades in the Senate, McCain has opposed proposals to spend federal money on teen-pregnancy prevention programs. And he's voted to require poor teen mothers to stay in school or lose their benefits.

McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (PAY'-lin), has said she opposes funding what she calls "explicit sex-ed" programs in her state."
