John Kerry Runs New Pro-Abortion TV Ad Blasting President Bush

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Likely Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry has started running television ads blasting President Bush for his pro-life position -- specifically his nomination of pro-life judges to various federal courts. The ads are timed to coincide with the national pro-abortion march on Saturday.

"The Supreme Court is just one vote away from outlawing a woman's right to choose. George Bush will appoint anti-choice, anti-privacy justices. But you can stop him. Help elect John Kerry and join the fight to protect our right to choose," the ad says.

"I promise to take the fight to George Bush every single day," Kerry says, closing the ad.

Pro-life advocates say the ad doesn't get past the first sentence before it gives viewers wrong information.

Kerry's ad mimics the claims of doomsayers at national abortion advocacy groups, namely that the Supreme Court is one vote away from overturning abortion.

However, the current Supreme Court favors the central tenants of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision by a 6-3 margin, with a change of two members needed to give it a pro-life majority.

Douglas Johnson, legislative director for National Right to Life, says his group, "believes that Roe v. Wade was an act of judicial legislation and should be overturned. Therefore, it would be welcome news if in fact 'only' five justices supported Roe."

"Regrettably, however, it is not true," Johnson explains. "Six current justices have voted to affirm Roe v. Wade: Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, O'Connor, Souter, and Stevens. Only three of the current justices have ever voted to overturn or substantially scale back Roe: Justices Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas."

Calls to the Kerry campaign from LifeNews.com were not returned by press time.

Kerry has twice voted in favor of an amendment to the ban on partial-birth abortions urging the Supreme Court not to overturn the Roe decision.

The Kerry campaign is targeting the ads at strong Kerry supporters in an attempt to bring in donations.

According to an Associated Press report, the 30-second ad will run for two weeks on cable channels such as CNN, MSNBC, Lifetime and Bravo in heavily Democratic states such as New York, California, New Jersey, Washington state, and Wisconsin.

Isn't it funny how some women think they are carrying a child, while others think it's not a child until it actually POPS out!

That's right: Liberals have a deep-seated belief that they can change the nature of reality simply by wanting (or not wanting) something.

Unfortunately, some of the weaker Catholics don't see this as a fundamental issue...they like his stance on OTHER social issues, and ignore his stance on this one...or offer a "Yeah, but..." response.

Great minds think alike. I posted my response in #40 before seeing yours.

Bravo! Well said.

Desperation is truly hear. For this nation becoming a majority pro-life nation now and having to run the pro-death ads is a sign of a campaign that does not have deep support.

Kerry is in big trouble and I hope he keeps wasting his money by running these ads.

If it's not a baby, you're not pregnant ... makes sense to me.

Yes, let them show what this "choice" really is.

WARNING: Clicking on this link will not bring up graphic pictures of the results of abortion. HOWEVER, once at this link of the Priests for Life web-site, you will have the option of clicking on further links that graphically depict the reality of abortion. As Fr. Frank Pavone says, "God have mercy."

Kerry was involved with the Anti-US Anti-Vietnam crowed in the 70's who were shouting that the American soldiers were murderers and baby killers.

He was himself a Vietnam vet.

Now he has an add promoting the killing of children.

He is a real child killer!

[Chewbacca]

A vote for Kerry is a vote for a child killer!

Someone please tape and send a copy of this ad to Cardinal McCarrick in Washington.

This is Kerry's version of "good faith" -- a poke in the eye from this effette baby butcher less than a week after meeting with the Cardinal.

I pray that some Church official will stand up to this monster at communion. Soon.

I have been going door to door every night with a petition to get a GOP candidate's name on the ballot.

On Sunday I had a woman sign and then she asked me where the candidate stood on abortion.

I told her that the candidate was pro life.

She then grabbed the petition and scratched off her name.

She believes in choice for killing children, but not choice on who to vote for.

An abortion doen not make a woman unpregnant, it makes her the mother of a dead baby.

[It's me]

I doubt he's solidifying his base as much as his opposition.

My thought exactly!

Rush just played a parody tune, Kerry won't you come out and flip flop tonight to the tune of Sherry baby. It was a riot. Kerry is going to go nuts when he hears it.

As a side note, my mother always hated that song. She had perfect pitch and some music just grated on her nerves and that was one of them. I can still hear her mimicing the nasal sound of the Four Seasons hit.

[ArrogantBustard]

A vote for Kerry is a vote for a child killer!

Bears repeating. Under the legalised abortion regime in these United States, more than 45 million innocenct souls have been slaughtered. The slaughter continues, in what promises to be the worst example of state-sponsored mass killing in history (if it isn't already). May God grant us the grace of conversion and repentance. Soon.

"Right to choose" is one of the greatest pro-death euphemisms ever devised, along with "final solution," "resettlement to the east," "reeducation camps," "special treatment," "life unworthy of life," and "ministry of information."

Who else can add to this list?

What puzzles me is why anyone would favor a party that holds as it's core "values" the murder of children, the suppression of success in their socialist redistribution of wealth and the rewarding of the lazy...oh wait...it would be supported by all those who would benefit from those actions. So now we know what percentage of US society is "dead wood"...just look at the rolls of registered democrats.
