If you look deeper than just his website, which I would have hoped you did, you can find all sorts of flip-flops. For example, John McCain was among a group of 58 Senators in 2004 who signed a letter to George W. Bush to encourage him to "Relax the restrictions in the current policy" on stem cell research, and asking George W. Bush to support allowing research on Human Embryoes. (http://www.ontheissues.org/Notebook/Note_04-SEN8.htm) John McCain has also shown lack of conviction in his supposedly pro-Life beliefs at other points in his career, and in 1999 even went so far as to say that he "would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade," opening up a lot of room for doubt of the statement on John McCain's website. I would hope that you would take a more thorough review of John McCain's record on abortion and other Life Issues, instead of just trusting his website, which doesn't even tell you that the National Right to Life Committee didn't even list John McCain as having a pro-life stance as late as 2006, but instead rated him with a 75%, earning McCain the title of "mixed record on abortion".
