McCain's Horrible Record on Women's Issues

“For the past 25 years, John McCain has consistently voted against women's health. From opposing funding for family planning programs to voting against requiring insurance coverage of birth control, McCain has taken extreme positions. He has voted against women's health and has not supported legislation that would help reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies and the need for abortion. This has earned him a zero rating - the lowest rating we give in the U.S. Senate.”

McCain’s appalling legislative record - view it here. And here. And here.
In summary McCain's votes:
Equal Pay –
AGAINST
FMLA –
AGAINST before he was for
Choice –
AGAINST (but he was for in 2000)
Insurance payments for birth control -
AGAINST

Palin is painted as pro-women and an experienced executive. Let's consider what executive action she took to deal with “sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence and murder that make her state one of the most dangerous places in the country for women and children.” What did she do about it? NOTHING Read ABC news.

The republican platform seeks to deny women the right to choice even in the case of rape and incest.

Be informed. Be for Obama/Biden
