"What McCain actually said there was "health for the mother. You know, that's been stretched by the pro-abortion movement in America to mean almost anything." (See Transcript of Third Debate.)

Which isn't actually the same as "Health of the mother, bullshit! You liberals just want any possible excuse to kill babies!". Paraphrases have to be a bit closer to the original than that."

Kevin, what the transcript doesn't tell you, but we all saw on TV, was that McCain made the "air-quote" gesture while speaking the word "health" in a snide tone of voice, with a lift of the eyebrow and a pause before and after ~ the exact non-verbal equivalent of interjecting an expression like "bullshit."

Now, that extra sentence about "you liberals..." was, indeed, a bit of an exaggeration, but one that fairly accurately depicts McCain's tone.
