As usual, Kerry can't can't seem to take a stand.
He is apparently pro life, pro abortion and pro partial birth abortion.

By Glen Johnson,Boston Globe Staff, 11/6/2003

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Just hours after President Bush signed a law banning what critics of the procedure call "partial-birth abortion,"
Senator John F. Kerry declared last night
"there is no such thing as a partial birth," as he and the other Democratic presidential contenders sought the political support of women voters.

The Massachusetts Democrat, speaking first among the six candidates at a Planned Parenthood forum on women's issues, said:
"It is a late-term abortion.
They have done a very effective job of giving people a sense of fear about it.
It's part of their assault on the rights of women in America. . . . There's nothing partial about their effort to undo Roe v. Wade."

Washington Post,June 3, 2004 " Events Forcing Abortion issue On Kerry "

"Kerry has professed his personal opposition to abortion since his unsuccessful 1972 campaign for Congress.
"On abortion, I myself, by belief and upbringing, am opposed to abortion but as a legislator, as one who is called on to pass a law,
I would find it very difficult to legislate on something God himself has not seen fit to make clear to all the people on this earth. . . .
And I think, therefore, with a sense of justice in mind that one has to leave the question of abortion between a woman and her conscience and her doctor,"
he told the Sun, a Lowell, Mass., newspaper, in 1972.

No wonder he can not as a legislator bring himself to be against terrorists who cut off peoples heads because they think God himself told them to? Afterall since God himself has not seen fit to make it clear to all people on this earth that they should not cut off someone's head in God's name, how could John al Querry as a legislator bring himself to legislate on such an issue.

Wow. There are some individuals who don't see anything wrong with Man-Boy Love...NAMBLA, for instance. Some people view women as property. Some people view those of other races fit for only slavery God did not see fit to make other views clear to all those people, Monsieur Kerry?? I guess you'd have a hard time legislating against those people too, then, eh?
