NARAL has started blasting away at the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain. They are attacking his 96% pro-life voting record over his 25 year senate career, including 100% rating from 2001-2007.
NARAL Gives John McCain 96% Pro-Life Voting Record on Abortion Issues
"John McCain has a 25-year record of voting against women's freedom and privacy, and he has even gone so far as to call for the overturn of Roe v. Wade," Keenan said.
McCain served in the U.S. House from 1983 to 1986 and in the U.S. Senate since 1987. During that time, Keenan said her organization has given him only a 4 percent pro-abortion voting record -- including a rating of 0 from 2002 through 2007.
According to NARAL, McCain has voted pro-life 123 times out of 128 votes, for a 96 percent pro-life voting record.
Keenan said McCain has a "documented record of hostility toward" abortion and that, on pro-life issues, "McCain is neither a moderate nor a maverick."
"As we move toward the general election, NARAL Pro-Choice America will make sure that voters, especially pro-choice Independent and Republican women, know the truth about Sen. McCain," Keenan promised.
Despite her criticism, McCain has said he's proud of his pro-life voting record when it comes to abortion issues.
"I have many, many votes and it's been consistent. And I've got a consistent zero from NARAL throughout all those years," he told National Review in March 2007.
