Lipstick on a Pig: Privacy/Choice the McCain-Palin Way

John McCain on NBC's, Meet The Press, 1/30/00

Mr. Russert: “A Constitutional Amendment to ban all abortions?”

McCain: “Yes Sir”

Mr. Russert: “But, Senator, women across the country would say, prior to Roe v. Wade, hundreds of thousands of women a year went to the back alleys to have abortions.”

McCain responded: “I understand that.”

Mr. Russert: “Many died.”

McCain, “I understand that.”

Stop McCain-Palin Now!

Gov. Palin had a good applause line last night about hockey moms and lipstick on pitbulls. Well, we have an expression here, too: Dress it up any way you like, but the McCain-Palin rhetoric about women’s freedom and privacy is nothing more than lipstick on a pig!

John McCain and Sarah Palin would leave American women with no choice and no privacy. And we can’t let voters be deceived. Not when reproductive health is on the line. And make no mistake, it is!

When you take away the rhetoric, chants, signs, and spin -- the McCain-Palin ticket is one of the MOST anti-choice campaigns we’ve seen and the platform on which they are running is the most anti-choice ever put forward.

Contribute now to defeat McCain-Palin.

Both McCain and Palin believe that Roe. v. Wade should be overturned. They believe politicians should be involved in our most personal medical decisions. And their party platform clearly states abortion should be outlawed with no exceptions.

Make an online donation right now to stop McCain-Palin.

Listen carefully tonight. I doubt you will hear anything about outlawing abortion when McCain addresses a national audience. And you didn’t hear it from Palin either.

Why? Because if pro-choice Republican and Independent women find out how extreme they really are, they will not vote for McCain-Palin.

In the next 60 days, NARAL Pro-Choice America will get out the truth about the McCain-Palin ticket but we need your help.

Your contribution to NARAL Pro-Choice America now is crucial. Even if you’ve given recently, we need all the resources we can raise to let voters know the clear difference between a McCain administration and a pro-choice Obama administration.

No exceptions. No apologies. It’s the McCain-Palin way.

Your privacy. Your choice. Your dollars right now will help elect pro-choice Obama on November 4.

Please make an urgent contribution right now.

My best,

Nancy Keenan
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
