...sixth paragraph, the author criticizes as hypocritical McCain’s push for the Republican Party to return to its roots because of his support of abortion. When, since the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, has the GOP been pro-choice? Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, no one questions that the Republican Party is, at its core, not a pro-choice party in regards to abortion.

Given her criticism of McCain on stem cell research, the author must have been one of the first to proclaim Senator Kerry a flip-flopper, as she evidently has no understanding of the nuance under-appreciated in federal legislation, especially in legislation pertaining to an issue as scientifically technical in its complexity as stem cells.

The op-ed falsely states that Senator McCain voted against funding embryonic stem cell research. However, HR 810, the bill McCain voted for, funds embryonic stem cell research; the author misidentifies this bill as an adult stem cell bill. In fact, it was S2754 that funds adult stem cell research, and Senator McCain voted for this bill, as well. In supporting the measure to fund embryonic stem cell research, McCain broke ranks with a majority of his Republican colleagues...
