http://blog.blowfish.com/culture/greta-christina-mccain-sex-scandal/878Sorry for the inflammatory headline. No, I’m not going to talk about John McCain’s purported affair with lobbyist Vicki Iseman. There’s not enough evidence, and in any case, I just don’t care all that much.
No. The scandal I’m talking about today is John McCain’s record on issues having to do with sex.
Which is, in a word, scandalous.
Let’s break it down, shall we?
John McCain’s record on birth control and abortion rights is so bad, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund gave him a zero percent rating. Zero. He opposes requiring health care plans to cover birth control. He opposes restoring family planning services for low-income women. He supports the global gag rule, which bans overseas family planning organizations that receive US funding if they provide abortions . . . or if they even provide information about abortions. He thinks Roe v. Wade should be overturned. He has voted against a woman’s right to choose 125 times.
