First off, I am NOT surprised that this priest inserted his own 'feelings' and his own personal judgement in this issue. Why have a Magisterium if these guys wanna freelance?
The right to life is primary, every other 'right' flows from that. Those other 'rights' are meaningless unless one has a right to life in the first place.
I wish these voters could live in Massachusetts for a while and then tell me exactly what John Kerry has done for the people Massachusetts, never mind the people of the United States. He misses the majority of votes on a myriad of issues but he is ALWAYS present and eager to cast his vote defending all abortion 'rights' and furthering abortion 'rights' as much as possible. Although he says he believes life begins at conception, he votes to murder infants in the womb up to the day they would be naturally born (I cannot understand that at all). He opposes parental notification regarding minors who want an abortion. The school can't give them an aspirin and the kids can't have their ears pierced without parental OK, but when it comes to abortion, JK wants the parents in the dark.
Regarding other issues... where the heck does he stand on any one of them? War in Iraq? He was for it. Has he said he would do anything differently than GWB has done in Iraq? No. All he says is that he wants other countries as a coalition in there with the USA. Which is what we did back during the Gulf War and which is why we had to go back to Iraq again. To finish the job that the coalition didn't want to finish.
John Kerry is removed from the great unwashed masses. He lives a very different life than most people do. I remember when he had the city of Boston move a fire hydrant from in front of his 7 million dollar condominium on Beacon Hill because it annoyed him. Although the man is worth millions of dollars, the taxpayers paid for that.
He doesn't seem to understand that public service means the officeholder serves the public, not that the public serves the officeholder. What an egomaniacal idiot.
