McCain stumped on contraceptives and H.I.V.
With Sen. John McCain aggressively courting supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, some of the most fervent of which are especially concerned with women's issues, the advocacy group Planned Parenthood has been spreading the word about why it believes women should oppose McCain.
Q: “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?”
McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president's policy.”
Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”
McCain: (Long pause) “You've stumped me.”
Q: “I mean, I think you'd probably agree it probably does help stop it?”
McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk Express? I'm not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I'm sure I've taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception — I'm sure I'm opposed to government spending on it, I'm sure I support the president's policies on it.” With Sen. John McCain aggressively courting supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, some of the most fervent of which are especially con... more -

McCain against Roe v. Wade & Comprehensive Sex-ed
John McCain has a 0% rating from the Planned Parenthood Action Fund because he has consistently voted against women's reproductive rights.
Once again it becomes clear that John McCain's policies are identical to Bush's.
He is opposed to Roe v. Wade and has said that he would like to see it overturned.
He's against Comprehensive Sexual Education and only supports "abstinence-only" education which has been proven to be ineffective and is often tied to bringing religion, and misinformation about sex into the classroom.
He's against making birth control affordable by means of requiring insurance companies to cover it.
Do Americans know enough about John McCain's extreme positions on this critical issues?
Is McCain any different from Bush on reproductive health or a disrespect for the Constitution and the right to privacy?
Take the Bush-McCain challenge and quiz by watching this video and decide for yourself if McCain is really the "maverick" he's cracked up to be.

Is Planned Parenthood Racist?
Recently there has been quite the publicity storm regarding an experiment at University of California at Los Angeles newspaper, The Advocate. An actor posed as a donor who specifically wanted to fund the donation of an abortion for a black woman. This request was repeated at several clinics and in each instance Planned Parenthood agreed to accept the donation.
According to FOX News, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, of Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), has declared this a race issue. He is quoted as saying, "Every day … over 1,500 black babies are murdered inside the black woman’s womb." The Rev. Clenard Childress, is quoted as saying, "I think the media, and I think America, and certainly black folks, need to start thinking about race and Planned Parenthood." According to pro-life Concerned Women of America, Planned Parenthood received $65 million for the fiscal year 2007 from federal Title X funding and has received $300 million in government contracts and grants in the current fiscal year. The pastors and activists are urging Congress to end the government funding of the organization.
