Kerry Says He Believes Life Starts at Conception: 'I oppose abortion, personally. I don't like abortion. I believe life does begin at conception'...
One wonders if ketchup boy is expecting to meet his maker sooner rather than later.
Another "Say whatever I need to say in order to gain votes".
Kerry is such a fraud.
It doesn't say much, really. When I was an atheist (years ago), I held a belief that abortion was wrong and life began at conception.
So, I was right in that area. But wrong in so many others.
But in this case, I believe it is Kerry saying what he wants the voters to hear. In a few weeks, after those who favor abortion have gotten after him, he will reissue his comments.
I imagine that statement will be along the lines of "I was for abortion before I was against it!"
Well, that sure convinces me! I can't wait now for November...
...so that I can cast my vote for President Bush!
That is simple to say that life begins at creation, now, here is the real question, when does life aquire a soul. Please , no flames, this IMO is a valid question. BTW, in Korea, a child is given what is called a 100 day birthday party, 100 days after birth, he is then considered to be 1 year old.
Let's see if that is in the RAT platform.
Well if your soul consists of your mind, will and emotions, then it seems when you are concieved, you have the complete package. Doesn't a fetus feel pain?
Will Bi+ch Boy Kerry stop at nothing to get a bite of that wafer and a little sip of grape juice?
I do not know when a fetus feels pain, do you?
So, he believes abortion kills a human being but he is so morally weak he won't vote against it because his constituency would not re-elect him as their Senator. What other atrocities would be willing to endorse to hold office? It's mind boggling.
WHY DON'T REPORTERS EVER ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS? Yeah, like I don't know the answer to that question.
Have fun with this one
As usual, Kerry can't can't seem to take a stand.
He is apparently pro life, pro abortion and pro partial birth abortion.
By Glen Johnson,Boston Globe Staff, 11/6/2003
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Just hours after President Bush signed a law banning what critics of the procedure call "partial-birth abortion,"
Senator John F. Kerry declared last night
"there is no such thing as a partial birth," as he and the other Democratic presidential contenders sought the political support of women voters.
The Massachusetts Democrat, speaking first among the six candidates at a Planned Parenthood forum on women's issues, said:
"It is a late-term abortion.
They have done a very effective job of giving people a sense of fear about it.
It's part of their assault on the rights of women in America. . . . There's nothing partial about their effort to undo Roe v. Wade."
Washington Post,June 3, 2004 " Events Forcing Abortion issue On Kerry "
"Kerry has professed his personal opposition to abortion since his unsuccessful 1972 campaign for Congress.
"On abortion, I myself, by belief and upbringing, am opposed to abortion but as a legislator, as one who is called on to pass a law,
I would find it very difficult to legislate on something God himself has not seen fit to make clear to all the people on this earth. . . .
And I think, therefore, with a sense of justice in mind that one has to leave the question of abortion between a woman and her conscience and her doctor,"
he told the Sun, a Lowell, Mass., newspaper, in 1972.
That's a very subjective test, but of course that is all they had to go on in those days.
Flipper is at it again!
Does he "personally oppose" murder? How does he make an exception for abortion?
"I'm personally against slavery, but I won't "impose" my view on society." How well would that statement fly? His abortion statement is the same thing. It means NOTHING.
You clearly don't understand the nuance. What he's saying is that if you vote for me, I'll believe anything you want. Oh, I'll do everything in my power to help the baby killers and terrorists but I'll believe whatever you like.
That is an interesting concept I have not heard before, thank you for that info.
Poor Kerry. Must have been tripped up by that dang speechwriter again. Why doesn't he fire him?
No, No, No! He's a Democrat and he said, "Life begins at DECEPTION."
Standby for FLOP
Bingo. You win the prize. This spineless jellyfish is ALWAYS trying to play both sides of the field.
Yet he is for a woman's right to choose
Ummmm .. Sentor Kerry .. then please explain your voting record ... and PLEASE do explain this
No overturning Roe v. Wade
No packing of the courts with judges hostile to choice
No denial of choice to poor women
No outlawing of a procedure necessary to save a woman's life or physical health
No more cutbacks on population control efforts around the world
Well, then, it *has* to be Hillary on the ticket!
.
KERRY is simply stating Catholic Church Doctrine on when life begins to protect his getting Holy Communion on TV for Votes.
.
I'm sure these remarks will be accepted with open arms by NOW, Planned Parenthood and all the other baby murderers.
Then Kerry is for the right to commit a Homicide.
I attended a Catholics for Bush dinner a couple of nights ago. The Bush campaign is actively recruiting Pro-Life Catholics. They were expecting around 100 guests and got over 500.
Kerry knows that we are trying to cut into his base with values and that he is losing.
You can't be pro-choice and pro life at the same time. People are catching on. By saying that 'Life Begins at Conception' Kerry is alienating his core support.
.
...JOHN KERRY is telling us now he believes in Life at Conception,
...when he doesn't,
...just like...
...JOHN KERRY came back from Vietnam to call us American Soldiers fighting for Freedom there...
...rapists & terrorists,
...when we weren't.

Reminds me of what I ask pro-aborts when I hear them say something about "imposing" views: "Did your great-great grandfather have a buckboard 160 years ago with a bumper sticker that said, 'Don't like slavery?--Then don't own one!'"
Therefore, Kerry's a liar as well as a pompous, devious hypocrite.
A few nights ago, I heard on Catholic radio that a suit (within the Church) to excommunicate Kerry has been filed because he's already technically excommunicated for supporting abortion and has no business receiving Communion, which he does in the face of Church rules. So his saying he doesn't believe in abortion may be in answer to those charges. It certainly underscores the fact that he's a lying opportunistic fraud.
When, and even if, a human being acquires a soul is purely a matter of religious belief. The word "soul" is not mentioned in the Constitution, or the Declaration of Independence, but those documents do speak of human rights and liberties. We need not establish a religious test of personhood in order to recognize such.
That's obvious
"That is simple to say that life begins at creation, now, here is the real question, when does life aquire a soul?"
Since I assume you ask this in a Biblical context, you just may want to ask yourself what the Almighty meant when he declared, "I knew you before you were born." Can one "know" what are mere growing cells?
The soul is life. Without the soul, life doesn't exist. Even in the profoundly damaged and crippled, there is the spark of life.
When Father slipped these surly bonds, I recognized that at a gut level. The spark failed. And humanity has the ability to recognize life. It's part of who/what we are.
A more interesting philosophical question might be about whether dogs have souls. Because, even if they don't, they have the power to jack with our souls. Seriously. I'm (finally) ok with losing dad. What will I do when Randy is gone?

That is a tough question, to know some one before they are born, as in gestation or when the mind is concience.
Kerry opposes abortion, but supports the right for women to choose one? Oh I get it....he is very moral because HE would never have one. What a guy.
"That is a tough question..."
Right you are. It is in the grappling with such ideas, concepts and beliefs that mankind defines its uniqueness among all living forms.
He has doomed his campaign. He can't win without the breed-em-and-kill-em crowd.
