At Senator John McCain’s town hall meeting in Reno (May 28, 2008) a teenage girl asked, "What are you going to do to stop abortion?"  Senator McCain answered that he was pro-life, opposed abortion, and supported adoption. He said he believes America's founding creed and guiding principle, "all men are created equal and possess certain unalienable rights, that among them are the right to life," applies to the unborn.  But that’s not all that Senator McCain has done or is “going to do to stop abortion." Senator McCain has a strong pro-life record on abortion. "John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench." McCain will veto the disastrous Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) making its way through the Congress. FOCA would obliterate bans on taxpayer funding of abortion, laws prohibiting government-operated hospitals from performing abortions, obliterate state laws requiring parental notification, strike conscience clauses, overturn the partial birth abortion ban, undo abortion clinic regulations, waiting periods, ultrasound requirements and more. There are 400,000 fewer abortions per year than there were 15-20 years ago. These regulations have saved a huge portion of those 400,000 babies from being aborted. Senator Obama embraces the Freedom of Choice Act, supports Partial Birth Abortion and opposes the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. A John McCain presidency will also have a world-wide impact on abortion. McCain would continue the Reagan Mexico City policy that prevents organizations-like billion dollar a year Planned Parenthood, that promote abortion as a method of family planning, or provide or advocate for abortion in other nations, from receiving taxpayer funding. A McCain administration will oppose treaties that impose abortion as a right on other nations. Senator McCain will be a thorn in Planned Parenthood's side. Planned Parenthood gives Senator McCain a zero rating on abortion. A special section on their site called the "Worst of John McCain Playlist" is devoted to telling the voter how "anti-choice" McCain is. Planned Parenthood says that "John McCain is ardently anti- choice - he wants to make abortion illegal and overturn Roe v. Wade." McCain would continue to ban the use of American taxes to support the UN Population Fund which supports China's forced abortion One Child Policy. That policy also deprives Chinese women of their rights to have more children. That policy is so brutal that it is enforced by infanticide. McCain along with Nevada Congressman Dean Heller voted to defund Planned Parenthood. McCain would oppose giving our taxes to this abortion colossus that rakes in over $300 million in American taxes every year. That's part of what John McCain will "do to stop abortion." No president can end abortion tomorrow, but McCains policies and court appointments will move us closer to the day when every child is welcome in life and protected in law.
