Cite any pro abortion stance he took - a speech, a vote, a bill sponsorship, from any writing. Anything.

Yes, he got us into Vietnam - against Communism. The stalemate way the war was run was LBJ's doing. We will never know how JFK would have run it.

That leaves us with an immigration bill written and passed after his death "in his memory". Reagan had an immigration bill, too. Was he anti-American?

Issues like abortion and gay rights weren't even considered topics of discussion in the early 60s.

It would be outlandish for a politician, even the kookiest leftwinger to make any kind of speech or stand.

But if pressed, JFK at the time would certainly be against both concepts.

Had he lived, though, I would wager that he would have "evolved" into a social liberal, much like Ted Kennedy did.

Whoa there democrat worship man, you stated matter of factly that JFK was pro-life, the man who lived an almost daily routine of quickies with strangers, hookers, and in affairs, yet with no illegitimate children, and at least one claim that he had one aborted. When was the despicable JFK talking about being pro-life in public?

You are the only guy that I think I have ever heard, that supported the insane and destructive decision to start a war in Vietnam, it had a disastrous result on America.

Immigration was JFK’s baby, he even wrote a book on it, and his immigration goals were passed almost immediately after his death, signed into law less than two years after he was shot.

Nice dig at Reagan who was trying to restrict and restrain immigration, the romneybots always go after Reagan, also.
