McCain on Abortion:
McCain has stated that he believes personhood begins at the moment of conception and that embryos should be afforded full human rights.
In June 1984, McCain voted for H.AMDT.942, the Siljander amendment, to H.R.5490, "An amendment to define "person" as including unborn children from the moment of conception".
In 1999, McCain said of Roe v. Wade, "I'd love to see a point where it is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations."
However, on February 18, 2007, McCain stated, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned." McCain has said he supports amending the U.S. Constitution to ban abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or risk to the mother's life.
McCain has voted 119 times on pro-life measures in the Senate including co-sponsoring the Federal Abortion Ban.
McCain has a consistent 0 percent rating from the Pro-Choice group, NARAL, and a 75% rating from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC).
