Right. I mean, I don't agree with it but it would be far more logical for Kerry to say something like this:

I personally believe life begins at conception. However, I respect that many of my constituents disagree with me on this and I do not want to force my beliefs on them. I will therefore only try to enact legislation regarding abortion that I know my constituents support.

However, with this latest little pronouncement Kerry is saying the unbelievable:

I personally believe life begins at conception. However, I do not respect that many of my constituents disagree with me on partial birth abortion and I do want to force what I personally do not believe on them. I will therefore actively campaign passionately to enact legislation regarding abortion that I know my constituents do not support.

Could he make this a believable statement? What he's saying is that he's personally opposed to murder but can't force those views on others. Any law is an exercise in legislating morality. The question just becomes whose morality gets legislated.
