Among McCain’s pro-choice women supporters, 50% don’t know his positions and an additional 25% assume his views are in line with their own!

Catherine Morgan asked: “Is John McCain a Pro-Choice Republican? Would you vote for him if he was? There seems to be a lot of confusion over whether or not John McCain is pro-choice or pro-life. Why is that”?

I agree, Catherine, but we need to work to end this confusion. McCain has stated (it’s on his website) he thinks Roe V Wade should be overturned. If you are pro-choice it is your job to tell the truth about John McCain! McCain owes much of his success among independents and moderates because of glowing press coverage about his bi-partisanship and McCain’s success at creating a false sense of his principles. But on choice, McCain’s record is really, really anti-choice. Not only anti-choice: anti sex ed, anti emergency contraception, anti women.

A new poll from Planned Parenthood shows:

In fact, about half of these pro-choice McCain voters (50% in a match-up against Obama and 52%
in a match-up against Clinton) volunteer that they do not know enough to even
describe McCain’s position on abortion and roughly another one in four (23% in
either contest) mistakenly presume that he is in step with their own views.
Thank you, Catherine, for raising this issue and while I’m not a single issue voter by any means, choice is very important. We are dangerously close in the Supreme Court to a majority that would overturn Roe v Wade. The next president will have the power to make an appointment that would create an anti-choice Supreme Court. We can’t let that happen.
