Slavery was justifed by claiming the victims were not people; abortion is justified that way today. - Agreed! they were also pro choice in those days!

"The great principle is the right of everyone to judge and decide for himself, whether a thing is right or wrong, whether it would be good or evil for them to adopt it; and the right of free action, the right of free thought, the right of free judgement upon the question is dearer to every true American than any other under a free government. ... It is no answer to this argument to say that [it] is an evil and hence should not be tolerated. You must allow the people to decide for themselves."

Stephen Douglas, 1858 in reponse to a comment that slavery was evil (the comment was made by Abraham Lincoln)

..and yes Douglas was a democrat.

Interesting: Sen. Kerry is a reincarnation of Stephen Douglas

So even in the middle 1800's Dems were confused, it seems.

"Slavery was justifed by claiming the victims were not people; abortion is justified that way today."

So, if one is against slavery, it is only logical to also be against abortion.

Also, I found out about this website through a priest that writes for Newsmax. I hope countless Catholics discover this website (CatholicsAgainstKerry.org) so they know what this man stands for. In fact, if we all write a letter to the editor and mention this website, many more Catholics will discover this fine website.
