Answer to question

Question
It is clear to see that Obama is for allowing the practice of abortion to be legal, and that McCain wants abortion to be banned. However, both seem to agree that a marriage should be between a man and a woman, not people of the same sex. With the different views on abortion, but similar views on marriage, would it still be safe to safe Obama is strictly pro-choice and McCain is strictly pro-life (following mainly the abortion case)? What other situations do you think Obama would consider that McCain would be strongly against?

Answer

Yes I would say it is safe to say that Obama is pro-choice and McCain is pro-life. McCain has stated that there are some situations to where he believes that abortion is okay, these include, rape, incest, or if the pregnancy was endangering the mothers life. It was not stated anywhere that I found but I believe that Obama may have different moral issues with abortion but legally he believes that women have a right to have an abortion.

One main issue that these two did not see eye to eye on is the war. McCain opposes with scheduling a troop withdrawal while Obama speaks against the war and is not for more troops to be sent into war. Obama has gone into more detail on education than McCain. Neither of the parties are against education by any means but Obama wanted to do more for the students in school and the teachers. McCain stated that he believes that the Second Amendment should be preserved, which means no gun control while Obama wants to tighten regulation.
