``I'd love to see a point where it is irrelevant and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary,'' McCain told The Chronicle then. ``But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to (undergo) illegal and dangerous operations.''

``I will continue to work with both pro-life and pro-choice Americans so that we can eliminate the need for abortions,'' McCain pledged.

McCain has taken the right approach.

Yeah. McCain has flirted with the rhetoric of the left on abortion. I do think most of his votes have been pro-life. I won’t fault him where he doesn’t deserve to be faulted. Many politicians mess up their presentation of the debate. They succumb to pressure. What matters is their vote. McCain is weak on stem-cells. Neither is he a grand and passionate debater for the pro-life cause in general. But he is mostly a reliable pro-life vote. I would rather have someone who can actually argue our side, but I MUST have someone who will vote pro-life. I will give McCain his credit here.

His position sounds similar to...Rudy’s, among other we don’t consider pro-life.

If not exactly pro-Life...at least McCain is not pro-Death! (As are the Abortionists of Planned Parenthood.)

McCain tacks to the best wind conditions to keep sailing. There’s no moral compass on board and no real direction sought other than to the promise of more sail. After all, that’s what mavericks do.

McCain is pro-abortion. And the “Big Tent”, which in practice means “A Big Tent on Social Issues Only”, is idiotic.
