| − | Warner has been known to take more [[liberal]] positions then most Republicans. He has a mixed record on abortion. He supports embryonic stem cell research and has even called himself "pro-choice." However, pro-life groups have given him satisfactory ratings because of his votes to restrict abortion. He supports a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage but has stated he does not think homosexuality is immoral. Warner is also one of the few Virginia elected officials who supports [[gun control]]. He voted for the [[Brady Bill]] and, in 1999, was one of only five Republicans to vote to close the so-called "gun show loophole." In 2004 Warner was one of three Republicans to sponsor an amendment by Senator [[Dianne Feinstein]] (D-[[California]]) that sought to provide for a 10-year extension of the Assault Weapons Ban. He was among ten GOP Senators, who were voted against charge of perjury during Clinton's impeachment. There has been some speculate that John Warner may not seek reelection in 2008, due to his age and poor fund raising efforts. | + | Warner has been known to take more [[liberal]] positions then most Republicans.
