John McCain on Women’s Issues

by Ann Bibby

Although it shouldn’t be so, John McCain’s views on women’s issues like fair pay and birth control access aren’t as widely known as they should be. In fact McCain’s positions and thoughts about women are outdated enough that I find it hard to believe more isn’t being said.

Pundit Mom posted a great piece with must read links the other day on McCain’s missing (deliberately) the vote on the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and his opinion that women who want equal pay consideration should simply update their skill sets.

And here’s a video from The Real John McCain which sums up his views on birth control options which in a McCain presidency would amount to none.

    Typical smears from the Liberal Elite Bias Media. John McCain has LOTS of experience with women, and if you’re looking for women’s issues, John McCain has got TONS of issues! John McCain will win when voters go to the polls in January. Never surrender!

    Liberal Elite Media Bias? Seriously? A recent study by Media Matters concluded that the media is actually overwhelmingly conservative so if you want to be truly informed, stop parroting idiots like Bill O’Reilly and former doctor-shopping drug addict Rush Limbaugh and do your homework.

    And I totally agree with you on one point…John McCain DOES have “tons of issues”.

    That video was great.

    And Women for John McCain? Is that for real? Are they serious?

    I thought that was a joke…..

    If a women believes that life starts at conception, then it is understandable that she would support McCain.

    We can’t expect all women to agree on what is best for our us as a gender when fundamental beliefs differ.
