Rich Lowry, Editor of the National Review, correctly points out that John Kerry, as a Catholic, should not be "accepting" of a pro-life view...

Where to start? Saying that you "respect" the view that the destruction of human life is wrong is almost insulting. This isn't like respecting someone's choice to order the merlot instead of the cabernet. The view that the sanctity of all human life is paramount demands to be accepted or rejected. Merely respecting it is a weasely way of saying you reject it. Indeed, if Kerry had a proper Catholic upbringing, he wasn't taught — as he puts it — to "respect" the view that life is sacred; he was taught to accept it as truth. It's not as though Catholics are instructed to respect fundamental tenets of the church as if they are the exotic beliefs of Zen Buddhism due a polite and inoffensive tolerance.

Read the rest of the article, because it goes on to detail the flip-flop in his own "Catholic" faith when he says, "I believe that I can't legislate or transfer to another American citizen my article of faith." But a few sentences later he says, "There's a great passage of the Bible that says, What does it mean, my brother, to say you have faith if there are no deeds? Faith without works is dead. And I think that everything you do in public life has to be guided by faith." Once again John Kerry is trying to have it both ways. Your faith is either guiding your decisions or it's not. You either believe that life begins at conception and protect it from the very day, or you don't believe it starts at conception and leave yourself open to the idea that a women could choose to terminate the life. What if terror strikes again and Kerry decides that while we should go after the terrorists, we also need to be mindful of their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? What if he decides they, like all of America's people, should have the right to opportunity, a right to their own dreams? It's beyond amazement that I'll watch somewhere near 50% of a great country vote for this guy. It's a perfect encapsulation of the dire need for better education in this country, because nearly half the people are idiots.
