The July 4th weekend was a disaster for Kerry. Pushed on the issue of abortion in heavily Catholic midwest towns - Kerry was coming up with quotes like: "I don't like abortion, I believe life does begin at conception. But I can't take my Catholic belief, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant or a Jew or an athiest...who does not share it. We have seperation of Church and State in the United States of America."
Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter says, "John Kerry says he believes abortion should be legal..."
If Kerry squares his voting record with what he said over the weekend then he in essence is arguing the equivalent legal right for a parent to go to a play ground, assert that their 3 yr old was creating too much inconvenience and should be allowed to pull a knife out of the bag and stab the child - all with the protection of the law.

This would be one thing if you were discussing something like a tariff issue, but when you're discussing the life and death of a child can you get any more cowardly and weasley than this?
And we pray that no Catholics will vote for CINO Kerry (Catholic in Name Only)
In short, Kerry is splitting hairs, just like the rest of the pro-abort crowd. Kerry is in essence, defending an indefensible position. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. That is it in a nutshell. The left likes to baffle everyone with B.S.
Yep. When it's left to a life and death decision, one shouldn't just get squirrely and go with the most popular public position, which is being against murder of the unborn, knowing Kerry has firmed a belief that isn't the most popular one, he became a weasel.
that's just the point; this hair CAN'T be split. Either life
begins at conception, in which case any abortion is murder, or
it does not. If it doesn't, then the argument begins to get
more complicated, but if it DOES, then the entire issue is
black and white.
Unless you are prepared to be in favor of murder, you
simply cannot -- with any philosophical honesty, at any rate -- buy into the notion that life begins at conception.
