Kerry has promised to filibuster any U.S. Supreme Court nominee who doesn’t pass the pro-abortion litmus test, regardless of the person’s qualifications.--
"And I am proud that I am the only presidential candidate to pledge that I will support only pro-choice judges to the Supreme Court. Some may call this a litmus test – but I call it a test of our will to uphold a Constitutional right that protects women’s right to choose and to make their own decisions in consultation with their doctor, their conscience, and their God. " John Kerry (Devout Catholic)
There is, as evidence, his nineteen-year Senate record, during which he has voted consistently in favor of abortion rights... - John Kerry (Devout Catholic)http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/clips/news_2004_0227f.html
ABORTION Vocally pro-choice; his first speech as a senator in 1985 was a defense of Roe vs. Wade. John Kerry (Devout Catholic)http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/clips/news_2002_0411.html
Senator John F. Kerry declared last night "there is no such thing as a partial birth," John Kerry (Devout Catholic)http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2003/11/06/kerry_hits_ban_on_abortion_procedure/ Do you support the ban on partial-birth abortions recently signed into law? A: "I don't support the President's law because it doesn't allow the exception for situations where the health of the woman is at risk. I believe this is a dangerous effort to undermine a woman's right to choose, which is a constitutional amendment I will always fight to protect." John Kerry (Devout Catholic)

Banning Partial-Birth Abortions
WALLACE: You voted against banning partial-birth abortions six times.
KERRY: Yes. But I'm against partial-birth abortion, as are many people. But under the law of our land, I believe it is a constitutional right for a woman to be able to make a choice with respect to her health.
Summation: Kerry is against partial birth abortions but opposed to efforts to ban the practice- John Kerry (Devout Catholic)
Kate Michelman, president of NARAL, told the New York Times on Feb. 7, "Even on the most difficult issues, we’ve never had to worry about John Kerry’s position." Kerry returned the flattery during a speech at the NARAL dinner celebrating 30 years of Roe v. Wade on Jan. 21: "NARAL is without question the front line defense, and when judgments are made, the judgment is inescapable that Kate Michelman is one of the most effective and important civil rights leaders in our time."
There is no overturning of Roe v. Wade. ... There are no more cutbacks on population control efforts around the world. … We need to honestly and confidently and candidly take this issue out to the country and we need to speak up and be proud of what we stand for." John Kerry (Devout Catholic)
"This legislation elevates the legal status of a zygote, an embryo and a fetus by treating the ‘child in utero’ as a human being," Kerry wrote to a constituent in an e-mail. This was his argument against the UVVA! "Granting a fetus the same legal status in all stages of development as a human being is not the appropriate response."John Kerry (Devout Catholic)

Kerry was raised a Catholic, served as an altar boy, and once considered becoming a priest. Nevertheless, he said yesterday, "Whatever my personal beliefs are, they have no place here," John Kerry (Devout Catholic)

Add your own........

[NHResident]

Kerry with the active and apparently enthusiastic support of Bishops O'Malley and McCarrick continues to show that Roman Catholic doctrine means as much as Unitarian 'christianity'.

Typical political BS

Personal beliefs about any subject matter .
That is if you have any besides just getting elected which most politicians DON'T

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I'm not Catholic and I do not believe in abortion. I also don't consider it a "right". Abortion rights is just another catchy political phrase used to value the act of abortion. Those who are in favor of it want it treated with the same reverence as voting rights or free speech-it is neither.

[no more apples]

I don't even think the real issue is whether Kerry calls himself Catholic or if he switched to another faith. The bigger issue, in my eyes, is that he flouts authority - in this case the authority of the Catholic Church. It's not hard to make the jump as to whether or not, as a politician, he flouts other forms of authority. (ie: Constitution) If he can't recognize authority, how can he function as an authority in the office of the Presidency?

¿¿Devout?? Catholic Kerrying the water for the abortion industry!

[homemom]

WHY is it OK for him to say he will only support pro-choice judges, but it's NOT OK for President Bush to only support pro-life judges?????

As for partial-birth abortions needed to save a woman's life--I think it probably takes longer to kill the baby by poking a hole in the back of its head and sucking the brains out before the baby is delivered, than it would take for the mom to give a few pushes and the baby to enter the world, alive. I just cannot fathom people believing that this horrible procedure is EVER necessary.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Like Kerry I am Catholic, unlike Kerry I am Irish (his mother had to pick the name of the county that's the butt of jokes in the other 31 counties- fitting I suppose as he's the biggest Kerryman joke of them all).

Anyways, as an Irish Catholic, whatever about Catholism in other countries, here's the inside track- Catholics have mastered the condition known as Doublethink; they can be liberal and conservative at the same time without even the slightest sense of contradiction- see the way JP2 staunchly opposed the Soviet Union, while supporting leftist movements in Latin America, which I suppose he reconciled by condemming both Capitalism and Communism (I think he favours a form of Corporatism).

From what I can see Catholic Theology revolves around the concept of having your cake and eating it- hence Kerry's devout Catholism and pro-genocide stance.

[Unam Sanctam]

Archbishop O'Malley has not encouraged his priests to deny Kerry communion, but he has stated that those who vote for abortion have committed sin and should not take communion. That is hardly "enthusiastic support".

That is exactly why I think the British program, "My Foetus," should be shown here in the US. If people actually saw an abortion, the death squad would no longer be able to rely on their euphemisms. Its NOT about rights...it about babies being killed in proportions that make the Holocaust pale in comparison.

I you read my post at #8, you'll see what I wrote about the contradictary beliefs of Catholics, they won't DENY you of communion, but they advise you NOT to take communion, as I said at #8; having your cake and eating it.

[1903A3]

He may well be kissing a lot of catholic votes good bye
Irish,Latino
Many of which he could have taken for granted otherwise

[Free_at_last_-2001]

..is just another catchy political phrase used to value the act of abortion. - a bit like 'Slavery Rights'!

"The great principle is the right of everyone to judge and decide for himself, whether a thing is right or wrong, whether it would be good or evil for them to adopt it; and the right of free action, the right of free thought, the right of free judgement upon the question is dearer to every true American than any other under a free government. ... It is no answer to this argument to say that [it] is an evil and hence should not be tolerated. You must allow the people to decide for themselves."

Stephen Douglas, 1858 in reponse to a comment that slavery was evil (the comment was made by Abraham Lincoln)

[Happy2BMe]

Kerry - The Liar - Lying Again about killing babies - abortion - ping

(Catholics need to stand up and speak out against this lying, despicable worm!)

[Northern Yankee]

These Bishops do more harm then good if they condone Catholics like John Kerry.

It doesn't make anyone accountable for their actions, and says to other practicing Catholics that it doesn't matter what people's choices are.

A feel good theology falls into the hands of Lucifer.

[cubreporter]

And that my friend is exactly what has happened to the Catholic Church and the Mass!!! Thank you. You hit the nail on the head. What you said is true, true, true!!!!

[Northern Yankee]

Thank you for your thoughts.

What I said certainly doesn't come from me, but from the beauty of the blessings God has bestowed upon us all.

God Bless!

Archbishop O'Malley has not encouraged his priests to deny Kerry communion

By not encouraging them to deny Kerry, he is supporting him. And I believe that means he too is supporting abortion.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Indeed what you write is true- it's like they are engaging in a popularity contest with secular liberalism, I believe that the decline in Mass attendance in Ireland is not about the Church failing to move with the times, but rather that Catholics don't know really what the Church stands for anymore, seeing that they are even handwringy on abortion at times.

I have some secondary evidence that my theory is right; I am a member of an Irish political party called Fine Gael, which roughly translated into English means 'Family of Irishmen', which at one time closely resembled the GOP in ideology, but today the party is in decline because they, like the RC Church are trying to hard to be trendy (there's a competition between Irish partys to be the most right-on), so no one really knows what the party stands for anymore.

As for Lucifer, Political Correctness has to be his brain-child, it is the best attempt at been the Anti-Christ to date.

[Smartass]

Kerry never did admit to being a holy person.
Actually, among other things, he's very unholy!
