Excerpt:

In both 1993 and 1994,
McCain voted against the anti-terrorism measure. On each occasion,
McCain was one of thirty radical anti-choice Senators to oppose the
bill Fortunately, despite McCain's opposition, it passed the Senate by
a 69-30 margin.


At the time, right-wing anti-choice extremists were terrorizing
women, doctors, and clinic staff across the United States with
thousands of acts of physical violence and threats of violence each
year. The new legislation was necessary because in early 1993, the
Supreme Court had ruled that even though the terrorism crossed state
lines, the federal government could not protect clinics without a
specific grant of statutory authority.

Meet The Real John McCain. Here is where he stands on the issues.

Excerpt:

Clinic Violence

  • McCain voted against the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act
    (FACE), which makes it a crime to forcibly interfere with women's
    access to reproductive-health facilities. Learn more on NARAL Pro-Choice America's voting record.
     
  • McCain voted to allow perpetrators of violence or harassment
    at reproductive-health clinics to avoid paying the fines assessed
    against them for their illegal acts by declaring bankruptcy.

What about ties to G. Gordon Liddy?

Liddy plotted to bomb and kidnap people. He got caught in Watergate and the other plots never went ahead. Him and McCain are close, and he's an active financial contributor to McCain.
