According to the Huffington Post:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview on Sunday that he opposes a controversial bill moving through the Arizona legislature that would let employers restrict health insurance coverage of contraception to only those cases when a woman can prove a need for it because of a medical reason, such as endometriosis or an ovarian cyst.
The GOP-sponsored bill, which would put some women in the uncomfortable position of having to explain to their boss why they use birth control, already passed in the state House of Representatives and was endorsed by a Senate committee last week. McCain said, however, it has little chance of becoming law.
“I am confident that that legislation will not reach the governor’s desk, and if it did it would be vetoed,” McCain said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “It certainly doesn’t reflect, in my view, the majority view of the people of Arizona.”
The question becomes, how far is John McCain willing to go with letting women make their own decisions about personal issues? It seems that McCain is not at all consistent on letting women make their own morally appropriate choices. He is not pro-choice and he voted for the Blunt Amendment which is remarkably similar to the Arizona Contraceptive Bill. McCain’s wife and daughter need to get hold of him and beat him like a rented mule, as the old saying goes. “Lady Issues” are going to rule the day and next election and it won’t be pretty.
Good for McCain. The repugs’ war on women is going to cost them severely at the polls this year as women tend to vote in higher numbers than fellows.
I imagine his spitfire daughter is giving him an earful for sure!
She ought to be and he needs to stop flip flopping.
I have just gotten enraged over all this. I thought turf was established. I guess I was wrong. It seems like the men still want to get into lady things business.
Starry loves McCain. Can’t for the life of me imagine how he lost.
