The outgoing president of Planned Parenthood, Gloria Feldt, commended her anti-abortion adversaries Tuesday for their political skills and criticized ally John Kerry for an ineffective defense of abortion rights during his losing presidential campaign.
"I have great respect for John Kerry, but there's no question he did not articulate these issues well," Feldt said in an interview. "He seemed equivocal. He ceded the moral high ground to the other side."

By all means, let's encourage every Dem candidate to articulate their pro-abortion stance VERY well from now on.
Well, if you're in the gutter with the abortionists it's hard to seize the moral high ground.
This here is the epitaph of his whole entire campaign, not just his abortion stance.
There IS no high ground that Planned Parenthood could possibly understand.
They have gone nuts and are now going after their own.
You expected something else from the Flop Meister?
Is she really trying to say abortion is moral? What an ignorant #&^#*.
actually, it's much easier to articulate a sound argument than a lie. That's why the "anti-abortion" people are to be commended. It's not Kerry's fault that people are finally facing what abortion really is. It's inevitable anyway. Kerry was just a poor distraction. Clinton was an effective one.
(Extra-credit -- compare and contrast to Liberal Rule For Defending Socialism: "The idea is sound, it just hasn't been done right yet.")
Uhh.... The baby-killing side has a "moral high ground"?
Kerrys "articles of faith" never included protecting the unborn; only his sorry ass.
Yes, "the other side" that says it isn't right to kill a baby was "ceded" the moral high ground! Just another participant for PNAP.
And the pro-abortion forces stayed silent when Kerry said that life begins at conception.
Why, YES -- didn't you know??!!!
People like Gloria Feldt would say that it is just positively immoral to deny someone her (and maybe his) "reproductive rights".
And if you press someone like Gloria Feldt, she will tell you tthat "reproductive rights" means the right of every person to decide for his self or her self whether or not to become a parent.
And, just for good measure, they will tell you that it is immoral for the State to deny the right to choose.
WHat they are really saying, though, is that it is immoral for the state to tell women that they cannot kill their unborn babies.
ANd they seriously beleive that that is a moral argument.
>Feldt said in an interview. "He seemed equivocal. He ceded the moral high ground to the other side."<
Earth to Feldt: there is no moral high ground upon which to promote abortion.
Please. Encourage Dem candidates to campaign on abortion rights. And encourage your gun-grabber buddies to demand that Dems do more to promote gun control. It's still a long road to 60 Senators, and we can use whatever help you are willing to provide.
So are they admitting it is immoral?
BTW, Kerry did defend abortion. They just didn't like how he did it.
