Warner has been known to take more [[liberal]] positions then most Republicans. He has a mixed record on abortion.<ref>http://www.ontheissues.org/Social/John_Warner_Abortion.htm</ref> 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 voted against charge of perjury during Clinton's impeachment.
