Roe v. Wade
Also on August 25, Bartoshevich was made the central figure of a press conference sponsored by the Republican National Committee and hosted by Carly Fiorina. Bartoshevich, who is pro-choice, was asked about McCain's views on "Roe v. Wade". She responded by saying, "Going back to 1999, John McCain did an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle saying that overturning "Roe v. Wade" would not make any sense, because then women would have to have illegal abortions". This raised questions, because McCain's position was that "Roe v. Wade" should be overturned. In the presidential debate held on October 15, McCain reiterated this point.
