good lord....we sure hate frivolous law suits until we want to use them......I hate Kerry and much as the next guy but being pro choice is not ADVOCATING abortions.......that is a bit of a stretch. This might piss off some of the passionate here but I never heard him say "I'm pro abortion"....plus, how do we feel when some kind of strange lawsuit is filed against Christians or Republican for obscure laws or language

being pro choice is not ADVOCATING abortions

Then, if one were to push for a repeal of all laws prohibiting murder, one would not be ADVOCATING homicide.

It's a canon law suit, not in the secular courts. This isn't a frivolous lawsuit in those courts.

...but being pro choice is not ADVOCATING abortions...

"I confess to Almighty God, and to you my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault. In my thoughts and in my words; in what I have done and what I have failed to do..."

According to the Catholic fatih, to allow evil and not speak against it is the same sin as advocating for the evil itself. There is no difference.

Kerry just doesn't support the unborn. He fight's any effort to give them birth right, after conception. To me, on the scale of life v death, for the innocent child, he leans toward death each time: His record suggests the same, but, as others have stated, being pro-choice, doesn't necessarily mean pro-abortion, but where is the voice of balance for the unborn?? I don't see it. Anyway, here's a link I've been holding onto for a while: http://www.issues2000.org/2004/John_Kerry_Abortion.htm

"....being pro choice is not ADVOCATING abortions..."

Sorry, but I disagree. All of life is a series of choices. I am pro choice on all issues bar none, however every choice has a price to be paid. In our society if you "Choose" to kill someone then the price for killing that person is death (or should be, I realize that in todays world we sometimes get a twisted result but ....). Just because a group of judges got together and said an unborn baby is not life doesn't mean they're right. Murder is still murder. As a Christian, a true Christian, I can not advocate someone the choice to commit murder without paying the price. As a Christian, a true Christian, I also can not vote for any politician who is pro choice for if you do you are enabling the crime. Even in our own country if you harbor a criminal you are guilty of aiding and abetting.

I believe the bible is quite clear on God's opinion of taking the life of a baby while it is still in the womb. If you choose, or anyone for that matter chooses, to throw out God's position / law's, then there is a price to pay for that also. God changes not and just because our society wants to allow others the luxury of not facing up to their responsibilities doesn't mean he's changed his mind on the subject. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Consistently voting in favor of abortion IS advocating abortion.

Perhaps, but Kerry in the second debate with Bush advocated government funding of abortions. That's pro-abortion, not just 'pro-choice'.

[Notwithstanding]

Kerry loves abortion and abortion dollars.

End of story.

but I never heard him say "I'm pro abortion"....

He sounded pretty enthusiastic about it when he addressed NARAL, campaigning last spring.
