While Kerry rallied today with Planned Parenthood and other abortion organizations, his campaign reacted to the Vatican's new warning about pro-abortion "Catholic" politicians by citing what it called the constitutional "separation of church and state," ....

Except when used for Dim photo ops.

BTW, has Kerry ever mentioned this to the Dim preachers down south when he appears at their churches?

[sarasota]

My how Kerry's handlers make it up as they go along. Is there anyone left who's buying into this drivel?

[areafiftyone]

Kerry is officially dooomed among Catholics. We need to hound him every time he sets foot inside a Catholic Church.

[South40]

Planned Parenthood = pro-abortionists

John Kerry = pro-abortionist

Where's the story?

[ServesURight]

Where's the IRS on this? They should yank their non-profit status and force them to get money from liberal celebrities like other left-wing groups do.

[JFC]

SUPRISE, SUPRISE, SUPRISE.......
I never would have predicted that one. ;)

Adds votes to Bush...

They are about like having Larry Flynt endorse you.

[The kings dead]

Planned Parenthood Action Fund said it would focus on bringing single women to the polls in November.

Despite all the leftist propaganda, married women aren't interested in the "right" to kill babies.

[King Black Robe]

A mother should never choose to kill her own child.

[Dan from Michigan]

Time to quit funding the bastids with my tax money. Let Soros pay for it himself.

Kerry's "separation of church and state" thing sounds more like he's trying to come up with a way of separating his actions from morality.

I'd bet the Church has a policy on that...

[Campion]

citing what it called the constitutional "separation of church and state,"

When did John Kerry become his own state? What is it called, "Kerryland"? And if he's the Chief of State of a foreign country, how can he run for POTUS?

Kerry: L'etat Kerryland, c'est moi!

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

"There is no such thing [...] as personal morality. There's only right and wrong," Brown said.

Hear, hear.

(As a universal truth, not just a RCC truth)

[uncitizen]

I believe that many of the women who have undergone abortion have regretted it. I believe it has impacted their lives profoundly. And I believe that recently (last decade) those women have begun to admit that their abortion is a major regret of their respective lives. As these women have passed on those regrets to the next generation of women, many women now understand that abortion is not simply a procedure, but a major event in a woman's life. This has already begun to be reflected in the number of abortions performed in the US. Numbers were the highest thru the 80's and began to fall after 1990 (according to CDC).

So Planned Parenthood may be trying to rejuvenate the abortion issue by conjoining it with "Laci Peterson's Law" and attempting to scare women that they will lose their abortion rights. But i don't think that people feel as strongly about this issue as they used to before they knew the unintended lifetime consequences of abortion.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Mmmm..I wonder what the LORD thinks?

[Fedora]

Ping.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

They want single mothers to vote for the daddy state.

[Smartass]

PLANNED ABORTIONHOOD INDORSING KERRY...

I'm shocked, shocked, absolutely shocked.
I'm even more shocked that ... Kerry would accept.
WAH, WAAHH, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.

[festus]

Boy if there ever was a good argument in favor of abortion Kerry is it....

THE ABORTION ISSUE

Vatican Cardinal Signals Backing for Sanctions on Kerry
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

Published: April 24, 2004


Addressing a question about Senator John Kerry's support for abortion rights, a high-ranking Vatican cardinal said in a news conference in Rome yesterday that a Roman Catholic politician who supports abortion "is not fit" to receive communion.

The official, Cardinal Francis Arinze, refused to comment directly on Mr. Kerry, a Catholic who frequently takes communion, but his statement was the Vatican's strongest on the issue in recent months. It came only hours before Mr. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, told a women's rights rally in Washington that if elected he would work to preserve abortion rights.

"Abortion should be rare, but it should be safe and legal, and the government should stay out of the bedrooms," he said. "We are going to have a change in leadership in this country to protect the right of choice."

The Planned Parenthood Action Fund endorsed Mr. Kerry yesterday, the first time it has endorsed a presidential candidate. Its leaders said the election was crucial to preserving access to abortion.

The comments by Cardinal Arinze, a Nigerian who presides over the Vatican office on worship and the sacraments, came at a news conference in which he released Vatican directives on celebrating Mass.
