So, Mr, Kerry, you believe that it is okay to take a healthy, full-term baby who is on his way out of his mother's womb, stick a pair of scissors into his scalp, and vacuum out his brains. However, Timothy McVeigh, who murdrered 168 men women and children in the Oklahoma City bombing should be granted mercy and be put in prison with 3 meals a day and cable tv. Sounds like your priorities are in order.
Aw. What are you getting so excited about?
