I just wanted to make a statement regarding Kerry's views on abortion. I wanted to find out what his opinion was, so I came to this website. I found article talking about how he supposidly 'opposes' abortion. Then the same author discusses how in other statements, he has said it is the woman's right. Now, he is being criticized for having contradicting statements. I just wanted to clear this up.
His actual words in saying he opposed abortion were, "There is something called freedom of conscience in the Catholic Church. I oppose abortion, personally. I don't like abortion. I believe life begins at conception. But I don't take my Catholic beliefs, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant, on a Jew, or an atheist who doesn't share it. We have separation of church and state in the United States of America."
I don't think that people understand what he is saying. He is saying that he does NOT like abortion. He PERSONALLY doesn't want it. However, he cannot make a law against something just because his religion does not believe in it. He talks of separation of church and state. That is what we are supposed to have in America. This is why we cannot have organized prayer in schools. It is also why you cannot ban gay marriage on the account of your 'religion' being against it. I am Catholic as well. I also study medicine. I don't like abortion, either. I wish it was illegal. However, I do understand his point that he cannot make it illegal because he doesn't like it. That would be unconstitutional and totally against 'American' values. I hope everyone can understand that.

3 and a half hours this troll had a chance to respond. They never do.
This is quite a crock.
You have failed your assignment.
You have made nothing clear.
LOL ! First time I've seen that pic. I love it, lol!Bu-bye, Lulu !
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . .don't be shy.
That's Sasso, my viscious troll-killer kitty. He's blind now, but can still kill trolls because they are so easy to track by their stinky smell.
"There is something called freedom of conscience in the Catholic Church. I oppose segregation, personally. I don't like segregation. I believe in the equality of all men. But I don't take my Catholic beliefs, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant, on a Jew, or an atheist who doesn't share it. We have separation of church and state in the United States of America."
Think about it. The Viking Kitties would have it no other way.
hehe ! An extra kitty cookie for Sasso ! :^D
LoL!
Dang - too late for the fun. I've never seen a ZOT on an abortion thread before - WAY COOL!
This is what I think: trolls only have 3 brains cells to their name, and typing up a pointless, terribly incorrect "arguement" takes at least 4. Therefore, by the time they're done, they've already ZOTed themselves.
Sounds good 2 me. :)
Howdy Meek -- I actually made it to a ZOT thread, can you believe it?!
;)
Yeah yeah......sell it elsewhere to the no-minds who don't know this twit.
You're exactly right!
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood.
May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you.
4mycountry: thanks for the ping ... :)
Admin Mod: Is this terribly over the top???? :)

Since Mr. Kerry states without reservation that "life begins at conception," then that "life" is nothing less than a separate and unique human being, a person temporarily "residing" within the womb of a female.
That being the case, a President is sworn to uphold the covenants of the U.S. Constitution.
Amendment V
"No person shall...be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;"
Also that separate and unique person is entitled to the same right, "retained by the people," the right to privacty, guaranteed in Amendment IX, that the female temporarily gestating that fetus is entitled to.
An abortion of that separate and unique person violates both covenants of the constitution stated above, which a President is sworn to uphold.
