Will McCain Flip-Flop On Birth Control???

It was with an amused grin when I read this story over at Feministing about Carly Fiorina, the ever prominent McCain surrogate, opining on women's issues regarding health care coverage, especially on birth control.

Carly Fiorina, the failed HP CEO, on why John McCain would be excellent on women's issues:

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief who is now the Republican National Committee’s "Victory Chairman," was discussing consumer-driven health insurance at a breakfast with reporters when she proposed "a real, live example which I’ve been hearing a lot about from women: There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won’t cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice." For effect, the woman frequently mentioned as a possible McCain running mate repeated: "Those women would like a choice."

Um, Carly? See this little amendment? Yeah, that's the one that would have required health insurance plans to cover prescription birth control.

Guess what your buddy, John McCain, did? He voted NAY on that amendment. He does NOT support health insurance plans being required to cover prescription birth control.

So, will reporters press the McCain campaign on this issue, and on Carly Fiora as well? Hmmm.
