McCAIN PANDERS TO THE FUNDIES

I noted below that McWAR stealthily supported the Center for Arizona Policy's effort to prohibit gay marriage in Arizona but I didn't realize that he also calls for the reversal of Roe v. Wade:
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. Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.

Via Bartcop, I learn from Joe Conason that McWAR also opposes reprodutive knowledge and freedom:

McCain is an antagonist of sensible family planning and effective sex education. In 2005, he voted "no" on a $100-million allocation for preventive health care services targeted at reducing unintended pregnancies, particularly teen pregnancies. In 2006, he voted against funding for comprehensive, medically accurate sex education for teens.
