What is McCain's viewpoint when talking about social things, such as religion, gay marriage?

What I mean is, what does he think about religion, gay marriage and other subjects related to the people?What is McCain's viewpoint when talking about social things, such as religion, gay marriage?
It's irrelevant. That's a personal point of view and if we're a 'melting pot' country who accepts and encourages freedom of religion, we should keep religion out of politics and government.





McCain believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. He strongly supports the two bans on same-sex marriages/unions.





Obama does not BELIEVE in same-sex marriage, but he supports people's rights to choose how they want to live. He is against the two bans on same-sex marriages/unions.





McCain supports Embryonic stem cell research from embryos that would have otherwise been discarded, but does not believe in any other type of experimentation on human stem cells.





Obama believes in stem cell research. A quote from him: ';We owe it to the American public to explore the potential of stem cells to treat the millions of people suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases.';

Roe vs. Wade:


Overturning Roe v. Wade





John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.





Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.





However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion. Once the question is returned to the states, the fight for life will be one of courage and compassion - the courage of a pregnant mother to bring her child into the world and the compassion of civil society to meet her needs and those of her newborn baby. The pro-life movement has done tremendous work in building and reinforcing the infrastructure of civil society by strengthening faith-based, community, and neighborhood organizations that provide critical services to pregnant mothers in need. This work must continue and government must find new ways to empower and strengthen these armies of compassion. These important groups can help build the consensus necessary to end abortion at the state level. As John McCain has publicly noted, ';At its core, abortion is a human tragedy. To effect meaningful change, we must engage the debate at a human level.';








Marriage:


Protecting Marriage





As president, John McCain would nominate judges who understand that the role of the Court is not to subvert the rights of the people by legislating from the bench. Critical to Constitutional balance is ensuring that, where state and local governments do act to preserve the traditional family, the Courts must not overstep their authority and thwart the Constitutional right of the people to decide this question.





The family represents the foundation of Western Civilization and civil society and John McCain believes the institution of marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It is only this definition that sufficiently recognizes the vital and unique role played by mothers and fathers in the raising of children, and the role of the family in shaping, stabilizing, and strengthening communities and our nation.





As with most issues vital to the preservation and health of civil society, the basic responsibility for preserving and strengthening the family should reside at the level of government closest to the people. In their wisdom, the Founding Fathers reserved for the States the authority and responsibility to protect and strengthen the vital institutions of our civil society. They did so to ensure that the voices of America's families could not be ignored by an indifferent national government or suffocated through filibusters and clever legislative maneuvering in Congress.
Who cares? Those are personal choices. The federal government should have no say in them





Although I think the states should ban gay marriage since it gives tax breaks to ';families'; that can't help America grow.
I think he want to ban gay marriage
