McCain's radical statement at Saddleback
Has McCain or his team really thought through what it would mean to grant “full human rights” at the moment of conception?

That is a radical position held by only a very few on the far-right fringe of the pro-life movement. Those are the people who would prosecute women for first-degree murder just for having an abortion – same for the doctors who perform the abortions. In such a world, virtually every miscarriage would prompt a police investigation to rule “murder” as a cause of death.

I know McCain is trying to move to the right. But don’t think Middle America is ready for that level of radicalism.

1. "I know McCain is trying to move to the right" - that's a short move
and he is trying to consolidate his base. Bush & co. (supported by McCain) are rightwing extremists and McCain fully intends to follow in their footsteps. It's the onward march of fascism in America and why Obama must be elected.
