Women / Mothers

• John McCain does not support women’s privacy and reproductive rights. This is even more important in this Presidential election because the new President will likely see 3 or 4 Supreme Court seats open as Justices retire. Roe v. Wade could be seriously challenged.
• John McCain limited access to parents for children’s health insurance. (Opinion: He seems to care more about tax cuts for the rich.)
• Do you want a 100 year war like John McCain suggested could happen? Do you want this for your children? Just 1-month of the money spent in Iraq, $10 Billion, could be used to fund insurance for 10 million children.
• John McCain implied that the military draft may require reinstatement.
• John McCain and Sarah Palin, DO NOT support equal pay for equal work. (Opinion: The McCain campaign, talks about how they won’t raise taxes, but women already get taxed by John McCain policy (women only make $.77 on the dollar compared to men), and that “tax” goes to Wall Street instead of American infrastructure.)
• John McCain justified not supporting “equal pay for equal work” policy by saying women need more education and training. (Opinion: If I were a woman, I would be offended.)
  Palin, consistent with her extremely conservative views, does not support a woman’s right-to-choose in cases of rape and incest.
• Palin, as Mayor of Wasilla in Alaska, charged rape victims for rape kits used to verify assault. (Opinion: This just seems to show a systemic lack of sensitivtiy to, what are real women's issues.)
