As a practicing women's health nurse practitioner, I've worked for over 20 years to try and prevent accidental pregnancies because I've seen first hand the effects that this has on women. An accidental pregnancy may be a source of joy for some women, and a crisis for others.

Calling for laws against abortion is the easiest and cheapest way of appearing to support "life" while taking no other steps to do so -- even while promoting an agenda of death.

His campaign suggests that, even though McCain has consistently called for the overturn of Roe v. Wade, his position simply means that the issue of a woman's right to privacy would go back to the states.
