Kerry is free to decide how he wants to advance a policy which protects the unborn and places legal limitations and prohibitions on abortion and aborted stem cells research. If he wants to be pro-abortion, he is free to vote that way. He just can't call himself a Catholic or receive Holy Communion at Mass. The U.S. Constitution cannot tell Catholic priests or bishops to whom they must give Holy Communion. The Church is well within the U.S. Constitution.
The leaders of the church are exercising the "free exercise of religion" which is in the U.S. Constitution. Kerry is free to join any cult, denomination, or secret societies that promote abortion that he wants. He just can't be a Catholic any more.
