Was anyone disgusted by McCain's debate moment, where apparently in his world, women's "health" is "extreme"?

And an article on his women's health/issues record:

Just one of the many reasons I would not and will not vote for this man.

Nope.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

You disagree with him, that doesn't make him wrong.

But you agreeing with him doesn't make it right, either.

"There have been cases of pba where the woman's mental health was used as a determining factor, or her health was in danger but not imminent danger."

And what danger is imminent enough? I mean, does she have to be moments from death? It's extremely complicated, and not offering an exception for the woman's health is dangerous, irresponsible, and, frankly, offensive and disgusting. Banning it in cases of a woman's health is an awful idea, as doctors will be hesitant to perform the procedure, as they'll always have the question of whether she's in "enough" danger to appease anti-women meddlers.

Yes, I thought he was extremely condescending to those that have been through such a terrible decision and made a mockery of women's health/safety.
