And when McCain waffles--appearing to back down on his staunch pro-life position, for example, by suggesting recently that he would not push for the repeal of Roe v.

"But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to undergo illegal...
