2. lol
I also love the last debate when he was talking about nuclear power and he said 'Obama says that it has to be safe or disposable or something like that'

Great stuff.

4. Chris Matthews was all OVER this right after the debate!
He was livid that McCain would trivialize a woman's health. One time I agree completely with Matthews.

19. He's less likeable than George W Bush, if that is even possible.
Even W would not answer the question that way. He'd say something stupid, you can bet on it, but even W would not be this much of an asshole.

13. What a fuk face, my girlfriend just had to have a medical Abortion
because the baby was not growing. She was 12 weeks along but the fetus was only the size of a 5 week old. It's the second time it happened to her, she is devasted, this is such bullshit that this dick wad doesn't get it.

I buried himself with that bullshit tonight, jackass!

17. HeatherMC, my condolences to your friend
I had a pregnancy a few years ago that I had to abort because it would have greatly exacerbated a health condition that I have. Serious, physical risk. Was I supposed to wait until it was life and death? I have kids already here who need a mom, and they take priority over an unborn. It was heartbreaking, and I hate that my horrible decision was mitigated by some air quotes. F you, John McCain.

18. I'm so sorry for your pain and loss. Thank God you are here for your children today.
:hug: Ideologues like McCain and Palin do not have a clue.

I'm 61, and the oldest of four living children. The others don't remember, but our mother lost three: one at full term (the most heartbreaking for her) and two in the first trimester, when she hemmorhaged terribly and almost died. They were not abortions, that much I know-- they were pregnancies gone wrong.

McCain and all those who would deny not just control of our own fertility but even a health exception for an abortion are heartless, and do not see women as full human beings.

Welcome to DU.

that you were counting on what few Hillary supporters out there you thought you might steal away, you just slammed the door shut on them ever considering you even for dog catcher.

9. "stretched by the pro-abortion groups to mean almost anything."
Really, John? Really?

You mean you don't think "health of the mother" actually MEANS health of the mother???

Fuck off, you fucking asshole!

AP: "A woman's "health" has been so broadly interpreted that it can include conditions, including psychological conditions, that are difficult to diagnose or prove. Anti-abortion advocates say that makes the ban meaningless"

broadly interpreted?
Oh yes, of course.. mental health and psychological conditions arent important, are irrelevant, and arent REALLY part of a persons overall health. :sarcasm:


this is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!! :grr:

16. mental health issues are nothing an exorcism can't cure don'tcha know?
A little laying on of hands, a bottle of wesson oil, and a little old lady to blame for the bewitching is all you need.

10. Not a surprising move from a misogynist like John McCain
One of the more despicable moments in recent debate memory.

11. Callous, Cruel and Merciless attitude towards women.
What the hell was he driving at ... a total disregard for a woman's healt.
DISGUSTING
Rachael Maddow was all over McCain on his statement saying it may haunt him for his entire carrer.

There goes all the woman voters Palin was suppose to win from Hillary supporters.

12. that was the point where I wanted to vomit
I never thought he was a candidate anyone could take seriously but that comment put me over the edge. Give me a break!

I have to figure it won't be long before senility sets in and he won't be haunted by that blunder for very long.

Any person in their right mind would never say such a thing
