McCain and Contraceptives

In a memorable moment early this year, John McCain had to admit to a reporter that he had no idea what his position on contraceptives is, but “I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.” Igor at the Wonk Room fills you in (via) and it turns out that yes, indeed, McCain shares Bush’s extreme views on the subject — lots of abstinence education (something he perhaps could have used during his first marriage) and no funding for anything else.
