"To be fair , there are extreme views on the pro-choice side that would alllow almost anything to be considered a health issue - ex . if the mother is stressed out about the pregnancy , or she has high blood pressure during the pregnancy , etc. , and this is the extreme arguement that McCain is addressing . Nevertheless , he is vastly exagerating the pro-choice view based on extreme examples . The trouble is that we as a society , including the pro-choice community , have NOT outlined any criteria for which health issues would be valid reasons and which would not . I think that most of us would view extreme health issues ( such as high chance of paralysis or major heart problems ) to be valid reasons while minor health issues ( short-term stress , or change in post-pregnancy metabolism to have greater weight gain tendency , etc . ) to not be valid reasons for third trimester abortions . I tried to start a thread here once - `` The mother 's health exception - where do we draw the line ? `` - but it did n't get very far in resolving the issue here . Perhaps this could be a good topic to address here ."
"I believe that a number of issues are to be considered in regard to a pregnant woman 's health . How damaging to her health would continuation of the pregnancy be ? What sort of family responsibilities does she have ? Most women , it seems , have family responsibilities of one sort or another , as opposed to men who tend to let family responsibilities go by the wayside . Is she the breadwinner of the family ? If she 's disabled , what will happen to her family ? I hate it when men , I presume that most of the trivializers are men , when men trivialize the issue of a woman 's health . And we very well know that McCain has little use for women . He is a supreme user of women . He married his first wife for her beauty and discarded her when she lost that beauty . He married his next wife for her beauty and wealth but did not hesitate to call her the C word and denounce her for a trollop for putting on so much makeup . The woman is no longer the youthful beauty she once was , so why should n't she use make-up if that pleases her ? McCain has repeatedly demonstrated he hates women :"
