I guess this is McCain's bribe to the Religious Right. Never mind that in 1999 he said, " I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations." In other words, he knows exactly what the consequences are of overturning Roe v Wade.
"John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench."
I also love the insult-to-our-intelligence Limbaughian catchphrase "courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench" - like, any other decisions of the Supreme Court your potential "base" might not like, Johnny Mac?!

I agree that legalizing the killing of other people should be stopped. People will still kill others for reasons other than war and self-defense, but the government should not endorse it or pay for it with my tax dollars.

Abortion has always been around. It'll always be around. Shouldnt it be "safe, legal and rare"?
This discriminates against poor women and girls. I dont see a mention of federally-funded free birth control. I do see mention of "protect our children from Internet pornography."
Why doesnt he say something more along the lines of what Obama says - work toward decent education, encourage parental involvement with their children, volunteer work... unifying our nation, not keeping it divided and encouraging division and estrangement (oh yeah, school vouchers he's for, too).
He is cravenly pandering to the Religious Right, in exchange for the horrid Dr. Dobson's reluctant, sullen endorsement which I dont think he's even received officially yet (correct if wrong please). And the worst part is, it's a flip-flop! He knows the reality and yet he barges on ahead after those votes like a pig after slops.
It's not purple prose to say that he's exchanging women's and girls' lives for whatever votes he might get out of this.

Thoughts????
Does the "Religious Right" include the Catholic Church? I suppose you can view the change in position as pandering to the Religous Right. Or maybe he has decided to stop pandering to radical feminists and their ilk.
That's election death to insist on a religious principle especially since McCain doesn't believe in banning abortion. McCain is finding that it is impossible to be a Republican & yet attract voters [can not use fear\ intolerance to gain office anymore].
