&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Planned Parenthood, 73% of female pro-choice McCain supporters in battleground states do not know McCain&amp;#39;s position on abortion. 1 in 4 believe he is pro-choice.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the Senate, John McCain has cast 119 votes on abortion and other reproductive rights issues. 115 of those votes were anti-choice.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past, we&amp;#39;ve shown you what a &lt;a href="../../blog/41461-why-do-women-give-mccain-a-zero"&gt;McCain Women&amp;#39;s Health Clinic&lt;/a&gt; might look like.&amp;nbsp; Get the word out about McCain&amp;#39;s staunch pro-life positions now.&amp;nbsp; Send this video to your friends, and ask them to pass it on!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;August 27th, 2008 - Citizen Kate discovered more unity that segragation at the Democratic National Convention after watching Hillary Clinton speak and cast her deciding vote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can't believe it. Hillary Clinton did it. She united the party and cast her historic vote to elect Barack Obama.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note to self: We have to hug it out and come together.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TRANSCRIPT:
&lt;br /&gt;JOHN MCCAIN: Yes, I'm going to let you ask the first question young lady since I certainly knew what your opinion is. Yes, as soon as, if you'll let me just finish this comment about Burma. [to supporters trying to block view of her shirt] Please my friends, town hall meetings are for people who agree and people who disagree and that's the importance of town hall meetings. [applause] As long as we respectfully, uh, um, uh, exchange ideas and thoughts and use, uh, respect each other's freedom of speech. [to girl] And I will go to you first and you can sit down if you want to until I call on you, or you can remain standing [laughter] it's a fr&#8212;you'd like to do. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;John McCain
&lt;br /&gt;Town Hall
&lt;br /&gt;Rochester, MI 05/07/08&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TRANSCRIPT:
&lt;br /&gt;JOHN MCCAIN: Now, ma'am, I don't know who printed your shirt but here's the microphone and you can explain, have the view that you have and I'd be glad to respond to a question.
&lt;br /&gt;QUESTIONER: Thank you. I was wondering, Senator McCain,  why, um, when you had the opportunity to vote to give equal rights to women, equal pay, I was wondering why you didn't show up to vote and you said that if you did, you wouldn't  support it?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JOHN MCCAIN: I think you're referring to a vote recently that would've allowed, which would've eliminated the statute of limitations on lawsuits of, for charges or allegations of discrimination. Uh, I think that if you eliminate the statute of limitations and make it, uh, unending then you may be violating the rights of the individual who's being sued as well, whether they be a man or a woman. So, I believe that the Supreme Court's decision was correct, that there is a statute of limitations as, as to when charges or allegations or legal means are taken, uh, and I believe that it was a correct decision of the United States Supreme Court and I don't believe that this would do anything to help the rights of women except maybe help trial lawyers and others in that profession. And that's my view. [applause].  If you'd like to follow up, I'd be glad to hear your response to that. If you'd&#8212;obviously we disagree but if you'd&#8212;would you&#8212;wou--would you like to make another comment?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;QUESTIONER: I have someone here who I think would like to&#8212;who I think would be very more much articulate than me with answering th&#8212;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;QUESTIONER 2: [to scattered booing] That's ok, she's fourteen years old, ok?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A new &lt;a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/107806/Obama-Gains-Among-Women-After-Clinton-Exit.aspx"&gt;Gallup poll&lt;/a&gt; has found that since Hillary Clinton exited the presidential stage last weekend, Barack Obama&amp;#39;s lead among women voters has jumped 8 points.&amp;nbsp; He now leads John McCain among women 51-38 percent, but while this 13-point margin is a strong sign, it&amp;#39;s surprising that more women aren&amp;#39;t backing Obama given McCain&amp;#39;s &lt;a href="http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/elections/statements/mccain.html"&gt;abysmal reproductive rights record&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or perhaps it&amp;#39;s not so surprising, since a recent &lt;a href="http://www.ppvw.org/pressReleases/PPAF_poll.pdf"&gt;Planned Parenthood Action Fund poll&lt;/a&gt; concluded that half of female voters in 16 battleground states simply don&amp;#39;t know the facts about McCain&amp;#39;s views on women&amp;#39;s health issues.&amp;nbsp; They don&amp;#39;t know, for example, that &lt;a href="http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/assets/files/mccain_fact_sheet.pdf"&gt;McCain voted anti-choice 123 out of 128 times&lt;/a&gt; in the Senate.&amp;nbsp; They don&amp;#39;t know that McCain opposes birth control.&amp;nbsp; Nor do they know that McCain would overturn &lt;em&gt;Roe v. Wade&lt;/em&gt;, effectively &lt;a href="../blog/41601-the-real-life-consequences-of-an-anti-choice-president"&gt;criminalizing abortion&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That McCain could take away a woman&amp;#39;s control over her own reproductive health is reason enough to be up in arms.&amp;nbsp; But this is not an advocacy issue.&amp;nbsp; Rather, we created our video &lt;em&gt;McCain&amp;#39;s Clinic&lt;/em&gt; because the corporate media refuses to present the truth on McCain.&amp;nbsp; We feel the general public MUST be informed when casting their votes this November, and the only way for that to happen is if you pass along this video to everyone you know.&amp;nbsp; Get your friends and family to &lt;a href="http://therealmccain.com/"&gt;join The REAL McCain team&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash;signing up takes seconds and it&amp;#39;s totally free.&amp;nbsp; And when you join, we&amp;#39;ll e-mail you two incredible bonus videos from &lt;em&gt;McCain&amp;#39;s Clinic&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The dystopic future these videos portray is a must-see.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hurry, there are pro-choice McCain supporters out there who would be less likely to vote for him if they knew he opposes &lt;em&gt;Roe&lt;/em&gt; and backs abstinence-only education.&amp;nbsp; Shouldn&amp;#39;t they have the opportunity to be just as informed as you are on the issues?&amp;nbsp; Join &lt;a href="http://therealmccain.com/"&gt;The REAL McCain team&lt;/a&gt; today. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;John McCain&amp;#39;s record on reproductive rights &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/unmasking-mccain-his-reac_b_103580.html?page=8"&gt;couldn&amp;#39;t be more appalling&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; There, we said it!&amp;nbsp; We said it because the corporate media won&amp;#39;t confront McCain on the real issues in this election.&amp;nbsp; They won&amp;#39;t tell you, for instance, that McCain has consistently &lt;a href="http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/elections/statements/mccain.html"&gt;received a big fat zero from NARAL&lt;/a&gt; on its pro-choice scorecard.&amp;nbsp; Nor will they tell you that McCain has &lt;a href="http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/11/19/mccain-now-supports-the-immediate-overturn-of-roe-v-wade/"&gt;flip-flopped on &lt;em&gt;Roe v. Wade&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and now supports overturning this all-too-crucial case. &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Because the corporate media has failed to do its job, we have to work extra hard to do ours.&amp;nbsp; And so we&amp;#39;ve created &lt;em&gt;McCain&amp;#39;s Clinic&lt;/em&gt;, a sneak peek at what a women&amp;#39;s health clinic could look like if McCain were elected.&amp;nbsp; Yes, we&amp;#39;re presenting McCain&amp;#39;s reproductive rights record through comedy, but our hope is that it will help get our point across effectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;We must spread awareness about McCain&amp;#39;s  record now, especially considering &lt;a href="http://www.ppvw.org/pressReleases/PPAF_poll.pdf"&gt;a recent Planned Parenthood Action Fund poll&lt;/a&gt; found that half of female voters in 16 battleground states don&amp;#39;t know enough about McCain&amp;#39;s views on reproductive health.&amp;nbsp; What&amp;#39;s more, one in four pro-choice McCain supporters would be less likely to vote for McCain after knowing he opposes &lt;em&gt;Roe v. Wade&lt;/em&gt; and backs abstinence-only education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&amp;#39;s what you can do: send this video to everyone you know and &lt;a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/McCain_s_a_Zero_with_Women_send_this_to_your_girlfriend"&gt;Digg It&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp; By taking these steps, you can help educate female voters in battleground states about McCain&amp;#39;s anti-choice record.&amp;nbsp; And don&amp;#39;t forget to &lt;a href="https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/552/p/10040/bravenewpac"&gt;donate to Brave New PAC&lt;/a&gt; so we can continue our campaign to bring you &lt;a href="http://therealmccain.com/"&gt;the REAL McCain&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&amp;#39;re talking about a man who &lt;a href="http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/assets/files/mccain_fact_sheet.pdf"&gt;has voted anti-choice 123 out of 128 times&lt;/a&gt;. A man who wouldn&amp;#39;t require prescription coverage for birth control. A man who voted against allocating $100 million to preventative health services that would have reduced unintended and teen pregnancies. A man who could irreparably damage women&amp;#39;s rights in our country unless we get the word out about him now. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While campaigning in Michigan, Barack Obama brushes off a reporter's question while calling her Sweetie.  She didn't take kindly to that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What started as a demonstration against women's rights after Friday prayers, turned into a full blown riot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About a thousand protestors, most members of the Anti-Koran Law Resistance Committee, which advocates Sharia law, expressed their anger over the government's plans to give women more rights. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Christian conservatives are predicting a looming catastrophe as birthrates fall in Europe. But writer Kathryn Joyce, author of &lt;a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080303/joyce"&gt;Missing: The Right Babies&lt;/a&gt; in this week&amp;#39;s Nation Magazine, argues that the campaign to promote Europe&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Demographic Winter&amp;quot; is really a xenophobic effort to confront rising Muslim populations, and to export the U.S. culture wars to a new battlefield.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This fall, Colorado and Georgia could vote on a law change that would legally define "personhood" as beginning at the moment of fertilization.  Depending upon who you talk to, the change could mean nothing... or lead to overturning Roe v. Wade.  You'll see what we mean when you hear from those organizing for and against the ballot initiative. The UpTake's Corrine McDermid looks at what this law change could mean to her personally and to other women.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other notes:
&lt;br /&gt;Other States have had similar measures on the ballot recently, many authored by the Thomas Moore Law Center (Colorado's initiative wasn't written by the Law Center, but the language was approved by them).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
