On Abortion: 100% pro-choice; it is a woman's right to choose

McGrath has kept her distance from Emily's List, the financial engine that powers the campaigns of many Democratic pro-choice women. I thought that might suggest unorthodox Democratic views on abortion; I was wrong.

"I'm one-hundred percent pro-choice. I align with everything Emily's List aligns with," she told me. [But] "I don't want to be tied to a litmus test," McGrath said. "I don't want to be tied to any national interest like that, where people can say, you're just a puppet."

On Civil Rights: Agrees with Supreme Court upholding same sex marriage

With the social issues, when I talk to people I tell them I actually align with the John Roberts conservative Supreme Court. The John Roberts conservative Supreme Court has upheld women's reproductive rights, it's upheld the right of freedom to marry who you want to marry [for same-sex couples]. And I tell people, if you're more conservative than the conservative Roberts Supreme Court, then you should probably not be voting for me if those are your issues.
