McCain: Roe v. Wade should be overturned

He can say it, but that doesn't mean it will happen. Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 have all expressed their disapproval of Roe v. Wade, but it's still here. It's the judges - or, rather, the Justices - that count.

McCain also vowed that if elected, he would appoint judges who "strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench."

Isn't this the phrase of choice among most conservatives? How a judge interprets the Constitution is a matter of opinion, of course.

The real question is whether McCain truly means this, or is he just pandering to the Religious Right and other prolifers within the GOP. He hasn't always been staunchly prolife. I'm sure McCain wants to court votes away from Mitt Romney. He also wants to take off his maverick coat in exchange for a more conservative one.
