Can you really call yourself a Hillary Democrat and then vote for John McCain who:
Repeatedly voted to deny low‐income women access to abortion care except in cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment, even voting once to prohibit federal Medicaid funds for abortion services in any case.
Voted to permit federally funded Title X family‐planning clinics to decline to counsel women on abortion services. (in my opinion saying women are to stupid to make the right choice when given all the facts)
Voted against lifting the ban that forbids U.S. servicewomen from obtaining abortion services at overseas military hospitals with their own funds.
Voted to terminate the Title X family‐planning program, which provides millions of women with health‐care services ranging from birth control to breast cancer screenings.
Voted against funding teen‐pregnancy‐prevention programs and ensuring that “abstinence‐only” programs are medically accurate. (again in my opinion saying women are to stupid to make the right choice when given all the facts)
Voted for the domestic gag rule, which would have prohibited federally funded family‐planning clinics from providing women with access to full information about their reproductive‐health options. (again in my opinion saying women are to stupid to make the right choice when given all the facts)
Voted to uphold the global gag rule, a policy that bans overseas health clinics from receiving U.S. family‐planning aid if they use their own funds to provide legal abortion services, give referrals, or even take a public pro‐choice position.
Voted to de‐fund the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), an organization that provides family‐planning services – not abortion – for the world’s poorest women
Voted to earmark one‐third of all HIV/AIDS prevention funds for ineffective, unproven, and dangerous “abstinence‐unless‐married” programs.
Voted to take $75 million from the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant to establish a new “abstinence‐only” program that censors information about birth control. (again in my opinion saying women are to stupid to make the right choice when given all the facts)
You are going to vote for him even when he says:
When asked about whether he supported supplying condoms to Africa to assist in the fight against HIV/AIDS, McCain had the following exchange with a reporter:
• Reporter: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”
• Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”
• Reporter: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”
• Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”
In one of the most important health crisis facing the our nation and the world – THIS is his response? “You’ve stumped me.”
Vote the issues, please.
