He also believes he doesn't have the right to use the force of law to
make others live by his beliefs.
Then he apparently doesn't have the courage of his convictions, assuming he
has any core beliefs in the first place that go beyond getting elected.
We're not talking about tax policy or which state gets a new highway here.
He claims to believe that innocent children are being slaughtered, but
chooses to do nothing to stop it, hiding behind the religous freedom of
others to commit murder.
You just assumed the pertinent point. Kerry, and apparently you,
believe that a fetus is a human child. If we all agreed to that, there
would be no abortion debate. Kerry realizes that others don't believe
that a fetus is a child. You don't seem to realize that. Maybe that's
what you want to force others to believe.
I do oppose any abortion after the fetus is capable of living on its own
without extraordinary efforts and equipment. In effect, that means
after about 6 or 7 months of gestation.
Up to that point, refusing to allow a woman to abort is making her a
slave to your beliefs. Come to think of it, that's probably the
motivation of many. Kinder,kirche,kuchen - now who was it said that?
As another poster has mentioned, this argument is not amenable to
reason, as it's based on opinion on both sides. How about we drop it?
