What issues would be most satisfying to you?



For starters: McCain voted against Title X, legislation providing low-income women access to subsidized breast and cervical cancer screenings. … He opposed the Family Medical Leave Act. … He voted no on a 2005 amendment (sponsored by Hillary Clinton) to expand access to family planning, contraception counseling, and preventive health care services. … He has long opposed Roe v. Wade. … He has opposed expanded stem cell research. He has opposed comprehensive sex education. … He voted against a law that would have allowed crimes based on gender and/or sexual orientation to be prosecuted as hate crimes. … He opposed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act as well as a Federal increase of the minimum wage.
