"Mr. Kerry said he opposes the bill because "the law cannot simultaneously provide that a fetus is a human being and protect the right of the mother to choose to terminate her pregnancy.""
Right, this is the Mr. Kerry who, as a Catholic, is "personally opposed to abortion". I've never... not ever... seen anyone fight harder and make as many excuses to keep it in place.
Notice that his point isn't that the fetus isn't alive. The issue of whether or not it's alive doesn't even bear mentioning. The only issue he cares about is whether or not women can keep aborting.
The thing is, we absolutely know that Mr. Kerry and other liberals have absolutely no problem employing the cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously believe that it counts as a human being when it's convenient for the woman... and it doesn't count as a human being when it's convenient for the woman. But if they can't force the rest of us to buy both sides, well, okay fine, it's never a human being so we can keep killing it.
Logic doesn't have anything to do with their positions. I'm actually surprised to see Kerry even point out that it would entail a contradictory position. I didn't even know he could -recognize- a contradictory position, he's so good at holding them I thought he'd simply be blind to them.

John F. Kerry should leave the Catholic Church if he thinks abortion is a constitutional right.
