In Rochester, Mich., today, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain will speak about "defending the freedom and dignity of the world's most vulnerable," his campaign says.
According to excerpts from his remarks, McCain will say that as president he would "make religious freedom a subject of great importance for the United States in our relations with other nations."
He will also take on the issue of modern slavery, saying that:
There is another form of human oppression that persists in the world today that demands our urgent attention and should sting the conscience of every good person. Inexcusably, it is a crime that, while prevalent elsewhere, exists within our own borders as well.
