Senator McCain wants to overturn Roe V's Wade

Republican presidential candidate John McCain looking to improve his standing with the party's conservative voters, said Sunday the court decision that legalized abortion should be overturned.

"I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned," the Arizona senator told about 800 people in South Carolina, one of the early voting states.

McCain also vowed that if elected, he would appoint judges who "strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench."



As a foreigner to the USA I just find it amazing that this Roe V's Wade still comes up. What is it about this country that a politician would even consider this stance.

Are there really that many voters who want to take the USA back to pre-women's rights?

How many are there who want to take the USA back to the days of slavery as well?

To all you pro-life politicians out there do you really harbor desires to bring back slavery as well? (or only if the poll testing indicates this is a viable strategy will it be considered).
