McCain might "love" women, but he does not care about their rights. He skipped the Lilly Ledbetter Equal Pay Act vote, because he said it would just "lead to more lawsuits." He thinks Roe v Wade should be overturned, and that we need a constitutional amendment (!) banning abortions. And, he wants to limit the distribution of contraceptives. . .

Not to mention that his position on torture has changed, and he feels that the recent Supreme Court decision which states that prisoners held on Guantanamo do have habeas corpus rights, i.e. the right to court hearings is wrong.
