John McCain

Right to Privacy

Roe v. Wade addresses and clarifies our constitutional right to privacy. The McCain-Palin ticket seeks to overturn that right. Odd, considering their latest statement regarding this teen pregnancy issue:

“This is a very personal matter for the family. We should all respect the love they have for the child and the desire all parents would have for their children’s privacy.”

“The media should respect Bristol’s privacy. That’s always been the tradition and practice when it comes to the children of candidates.”

And of course I agree that Bristol Palin deserves privacy. So do we all -- especially our daughters when it comes to their medical decisions.
