John McCain and Abortion

We’ve posted in detail about McCain’s horrible history (and potential future) with reproductive justice issues. But there’s always need for more reminders.
Dahlia Lithwick at Slate says McCain is trying to “pull a Jessica Seinfeld.”

So the candidate is doing exactly what Mrs. Jerry Seinfeld did in her popular cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. He’s sneaking a little of his bad-tasting reproductive rights stance into the meatloaf of his candidacy–not by hiding it, but by trading on his reputation as a maverick. Seinfeld’s contention was that if your kids don’t like asparagus, you should just whirl it up in the blender and bake it into some meatloaf. The children won’t know the difference until it’s too late.

Make sure to check out the whole piece. Even if it doesn’t tell you anything you don’t know about McCain and choice, it will make you hungry for meatloaf. (Okay, that’s probably just me. But seriously, read it.)
