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?

One thing I learned from this blog was the basis behind the Unruh Civil Rights Act. After a lesbian was denied fertality treatments at North Coast Women's Care Medical Group, she argued in the Supreme Court that the center had violated her rights to receive treatment because of her sexual orientation. The Supreme Court agreed with the women, and said the center must follow the Unruh Civil Rights Act, “in ensuring full and equal access to medical treatment irrespective of sexual orientation, including a right to full medical assistance in establishing a pregnancy.”
