Heard this in passing on the Bob Grant show earlier today, but I didn't hear a source for the info.
Is this true, and if so how can he justify this position on either moral or practical grounds??? I mean he is unambiguously saying that a fetus is a living human baby, but it is perfectly all right to kill that child at the discretion of another person?!?!?! How is his position not the advocacy of murder?  How is it no one is bringing this matter up?If true, Bush REALLY needs to bring this up during the debates... Kerry will be toast!!! |

I don't know if I'm late to the game on this issue, but I find it INCREDIBLE that any legitimate presidential candidate could hold this as his stated & documentable position on the subject of abortion!
I mean the man's official stance is that killing children is morally & legally permissible?!?!?! He knows they are innocent living human beings, yet he sees nothing wrong with a doctor dismembering them, and discarding their body parts as medical waste. He doesn’t hide behind the "they are only fetuses & not babies yet" argument! He actually knows they are children & he STILL advocates their MURDER?!?!?! I guess I shouldn’t be in shock, but I am... |

I hear you WI_Rifleman, but this goes WAY beyond election year politics... it goes to the heart of who John Kerry is as a human being!
He advocates the MURDER OF INNOCENT CHILDERN!!! There is no other reasonable or logical way to interpret his stance. The man has no soul, and possesses the cold heart of a monster... there is no other explanation!!! As a man, he is on par with murderous sub-human Muslim insects who slaughtered those Russian children in their classrooms! This is not hyperbole on my part. This isn't me slinging mud in hopes of getting my preferred candidate elected president. This is a genuine awakening on my part... an epiphany if you will. I see John Kerry with new eyes, and what I see utterly & completely disgusts me! |

I support the 2nd Ammendment, but I want to ban guns... Is there ANYTHING this man doesn't have 2 positions on? Maybe John Edwards sees BOTH Americas for a running mate (one where Kerry is for an issue, the other where he is against it)??? Flip-Flop Flip-Flop Flop-Flop! |

You heard it right. Maybe he is trying to appeal to the religious vote, and appeal to the Demo base like "safe, legal, and rare" did. Hey, it worked for Slick.
More ominously, perhaps he means what he says. Back in the day I used to get into the prolife/choice thing, and I started hearing and reading more of that "yes, it is a life. Kill it if you wish" way of thinking. It is a drastic thing to admit, but at least it is intellectually honest. |

Kerry never ceases to amaze me. Life begins at conception, but we should still be able to exterminate that life?
That makes him WORSE than the rest of the abortionists. They at least don't "think" they are killing a new life when they support abortion. There is NO justification for someone who thinks the child IS a life and yet still wants them dead... |

Well, not everyone is a god fearing person, you, go and have your beliefs, don't impose them on the rest of us. No one forcing you or yours to abort the unwanted pregnancy in your families time, Why would you force your ideals and religion on them? Amazingly the ELF destroys property and they're a terrorist organization. The AOG murders people and make bombs and performs assasinations But don't make the terrorist group list. go figure............................. Chris

Virginia22, WTH are you talking about???
Who said anything about forcing one's moral or religious beliefs on YOU? I'm talking about Kerry, who subscribes to the belief that life begins at conception (his own words, nobody forced him to say or believe this), yet he favors the killing of what he admits are unborn CHILDERN. Don't you see a logical disconnect in his stated positions?  |

Ok. First of all, the smart a$$ quotient on that is off the scale. Second, freedom is something I love. Cheif among these freedoms is the right to LIFE. All other rights stem from that one. You are certainly entitled to think that the child is not "alive" until outside the mother's womb. But what, praytell, justifies that position? What significant biological or mental development happens in that last few inches of birth canal at 9 months that transforms the "blob of flesh" into a child? Anyone who has studied human development knows the answer to that question. Your concept of "fanatacism" based on your statements in this thread and others: Thinking illegal drugs are a detriment to society and should be left illegal Thinking that Christ represents freedom Thinking that when we define an innocent human life, that we should not take it Simply AMAZING. You can believe whatever you want. That the sky is green and the grass is blue, and that the Easter Bunny really killed JFK. Knock yourself out. But truth does not bend to what you think, and do not expect the rest of humanity to govern itself by your warped outlook. |

What I see is a person who thinks that what happens in abortion is the taking of an innocent human life, and is just fine with that. That is the moral equvalent of saying it is OK to walk up to a stroller and blow away an infant on the day he/she is born. Life is life, and taking that life is murder. If we can't "force" morality about not killing innocent people "down people's throats", then what exactly DOES government have a right to enforce? |

Not itching for anything. BUT your religious overtones seem to suggest your reasoning, and you CAN NOT make that decission for the rest of us out here.
Kerry seems to think when he seperates his religion from the job being sought. some can do that, some MUST interject that on others to save them.  Now, Why should I answer your questions, you've not answered mine. it won't be Bush or kerry. Chris |

No smart ass remark at all. my firm and just opinion in fact. just as yours.
"But truth does not bend to what you think, and do not expect the rest of humanity to govern itself by your warped outlook." only gods path is ok, correct? be honest. My outlook is freedom, nothing more.my outlook may in fact be "warped" but at least I'm no fanatic. You don't believe in abortion. Fine, don't go have one performed. but do not tell the many others out here, NO, just because of your stance and where it comes from. neither side should be "forced" especially for some religious belief. So far, NOONE has ever tried to force you and yours to have one, why is it fine for you to force others? freedom huh? for some I suppose. and you never answered the question on your religious "preference" Chris

No, the facts of human development dictate that the form of life growing in the mother's womb is HUMAN. And that at any point in the process of development, the product of HUMAN reproduction isn't a SQUIRREL. Within the 1st trimester, the child develops all the major structures of life, including a beating heart, the Central Nervous System, and measureable brain waves can be picked up in the 4th week of development. (If our equipment was more sensitive, we could pick up brain activity even sooner...) So looking at the product of human reproduction with brain waves and a beating heart, as well as other distinctly human features, I come to the conclusion that what I am looking at is a human being. Since no human female has ever given birth to a condor or an armadillo, I think it is safe to make that deduction. Religion, in this instance, has nothing to do with defining what I am looking at as a human life. Religion DOES dictate that since this is a human life, and the weakest and most innocent form of it at that, that I should not kill the little person. |

But that's not what John Kerry said. He said he BELIEVES that lives begin at conception, but he thinks it's okay to kill them anyway. He didn't say he doesn't believe it's alive. He said he DOES believe it's alive. Isn't that scary to you? Edited to add: Oh, wait. Aren't you the guy who was defending the Chechen/Arab childkiller terrorists on another thread? And linking to a socialist website? That tells me all I need to know about you. |

You are defining freedom as the right to take an innocent human life. You assert that it is fanatical to want to use the force of government to stop the taking of innocent life. Your belief system is too warped to debate. If you think that a child in the birth canal about to be born is a blob of flesh, while a second later it becomes a human life, then you are too blind to see anything else. In your mind it is more acceptable to kill an 8 month pregnancy than to try and stop it. Nothing is worse than being a fanatic... Again, the darkness in your heart that makes life all about what YOU want to do without having to face the consequences makes you blind to the truth. Thus there is no point wasting my effort in trying to show you anything. I don't have a religious "preference". I follow Christ and Him crucified. |

virginia22, as much as some of us don't like it abortion is ok by the law. I for one don't agree with it for religious and personal reasons. I also don't really like the people who stand on the side of the road with dead baby pictures. I always feel like just veering off the road a little whenever I drive by them.
That being said. Since it is legal you need to be honest with yourself. If you do it, you are killing a human being. |

If dependency upon the mother is the test of life, then no child is truly "alive" until they can provide their own food, water, shelter, clothing.... All children are not "alive" because they are inherently dependent. Leave an infant in a room for a few days with no care, and the child will die. Thus according to your definition, if someone walked up to a stroller with a shotgun and blew away an infant, they were just exterminating a "parasite". I am unable to debate someone who thinks that way. |

Why? Because they are showing the very real consequences of what is going on in the abortion clinics? Pictures of mangled babies are certainly unpleasant. But wouldn't your ire be better reserved for the people who legalize, support, and make a living mangling babies over those who merely show the consequences of such actions? I really don't get that. |
