Kerry's abortion doubletalk

© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Puzzling Democrats and other pro-abortion voters everywhere, John Kerry proclaimed to ABC News and its viewers that he believes life begins at conception. He made similar confusing statements in Iowa earlier this month when appealing to a largely Catholic based community.

When asked to explain the apparent contradiction of his recent statements with his well-known and public support of abortion, he gave a Kerry-classic answer, replete with nuance and doubletalk.


He "clarified" his statements by distinguishing human life from personhood. His position is that the unborn child is not a person according to the law. Though human, the unborn child is not protectable human life. That means, Kerry adheres to and supports the decision made in Roe v. Wade. And for our non-French speaking audience, that means he undauntedly supports abortion.

This seriously flawed notion that someone can be human but not a person is not new. It was used most infamously by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857 to justify slavery. In Dred Scott, the court didn't argue whether African Americans were human. The court argued that African Americans simply weren't persons under the law deserving rights and protection.

Here's exactly what the court had to say in 1857:


For more than a century before [the Negro has] been regarded as beings of an inferior order and altogether unfit ... they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect ... the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery ... bought and sold and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made.


Ironically, very few members of the black community see the similarities in the Kerry and Supreme Court position – let alone the offense. To the contrary, John Kerry and the Democratic Party successfully court the majority of black voters. For example, Kerry assured black churchgoers that he shares their "common future, hopes and dreams." And when Kerry took his turn on stage to speak to the members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at their most recent convention, he said the government needs to do more for African Americans to improve education, the economy and civil rights.

The question is how does his advocacy and love for African Americans square with his pro-abortion platform?

According to Black Genocide, more black children are killed by abortion than are born. In fact, in the last 30 years more than 25 percent of the black population has been aborted. That means twice as many African Americans have died from abortion than from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer and heart disease combined. "Coincidently," 78 percent of the Planned Parenthood facilities are located in minority neighborhoods. And, 4 billion dollars has been paid to the abortion industry for killing black babies.

Truth be told, Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and the Negro Project, wanted to use abortion to "restrict – many believe exterminate – the black population." In one letter she wrote, she said:


We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social service backgrounds and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.


So there you have it. Kerry and the Democratic Party successfully court one of the most important Democratic constituencies by promising to support and defend a scheme that targets them for death through abortion. Now under the political guise of ensuring their rights, Kerry defends his stand on abortion with the same arguments used by the Supreme Court of 1857 to deny black Americans their freedom.

In a final twist of irony, the NAACP compares the anti-abortion views of President Bush, who would truly protect the lives of African Americans, to the Taliban.

By the way, in October 1972, Kerry told the Lowell Sun, "I'm opposed to abortion."

More nuance anyone?

John Kerry’s Self-contradictory Statements on AbortionPresidential candidate John Kerry turned a few heads on July 4, when he told the Dubuque, Iowa Telegraph Herald the following: "I oppose abortion, personally. I don’t like abortion. I believe life does begin at conception.... I can’t take my Catholic belief, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant or a Jew or an atheist. We have separation of church and state in the United States of America."

The statement by Senator Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat who has long supported legalized abortion, means one of several possibilities is true:

• Sen. Kerry fully understands that abortion is murder, but he supports abortion anyway.

• His cognitive ability is so unhinged that he is unable to connect the dots between life beginning at conception and abortion.

• He is willing to talk out of both sides of his mouth — sometimes virtually in the same breath — to appeal to various constituencies, regardless of whether or not he believes what he is saying.

Of course, it does not make sense to claim to be personally opposed to abortion while supporting the right to an abortion — any more than it would make sense to express personal opposition to ax murders while upholding the right to murder with axes.

Kerry’s statement about "separation of church and state" (a phrase found nowhere in the Constitution or any of its amendments) is also instructive. Kerry’s position is essentially that it is acceptable in modern society for a person to have a religious faith, so long as it has no impact on that person’s public actions. In that respect, his view mirrors that of the ACLU, an organization that basically holds that it is okay to be a Christian, so long as you never act like one.

John Kerry's Campaign Takes $ From Late-Term Abortion Practitioners

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In a revelation that is causing a huge stir among pro-life advocates, three late-term abortion practitioners have made thousands of dollars of donations to the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.

For those involved in the debate about partial-birth abortion, Martin Haskell's name is familiar. He is credited with inventing the grisly procedure that has been banned in dozens of states and by Congress.

Haskell, and infamous late-term abortion practitioners Warren Hearn of Colorado and George Tiller of Kansas, have donated a total of $7,000 to the Kerry campaign.

While that's not a huge sum compared with the millions top pro-abortion organizations are spending to oust President Bush, pro-life advocates say it's noteworthy that notorious men who perform abortions very late in pregnancy are willing to finance Kerry's campaign for president.

"[T]hese contributions are worth scrutinizing because of what they reveal about John Kerry," writes National Right to Life legislative director Douglas Johnson in the Weekly Standard.

Johnson said the "Kerry campaign apparently readily accepted the contributions--money that might very well have originated in fees charged to perform partial-birth abortions or other late abortions."

According to Johnson, the donations point to Senator Kerry's extreme view on abortion -- a point validated by Kerry's six votes against a partial-birth abortion ban over the last several years.

The donations also reflect the abortion practitioner's confidence in Kerry's statements that he will only appoint judges to the Supreme Court that are willing to uphold Roe v. Wade and, apparently, partial-birth abortions.

"Most likely, these abortionists are quite aware that Kerry has promised to nominate only Supreme Court justices who share his real position on abortion policy--which would guarantee that partial-birth abortions and other late abortions, and of course earlier abortions, would remain almost entirely shielded from scrutiny or restriction by elected lawmakers for the foreseeable future," Johnson explained.

Kerry's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

According to records Johnson obtained, Martin Haskell wrote a check to the Kerry campaign for $2,000 on June 30, 2004.

In 1994, Haskell wrote a seminal paper presenting the new partial-birth abortion method. He has since filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn an Ohio law implementing the FDA's safety recommendations for using the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug.

George Tiller, who operates a late-term abortion business in Wichita, Kansas, sent the Kerry campaign a contribution of $1,000, recorded March 17, 2004.

Tiller has come under fire recently for botching women's abortions and three staff members resigned earlier this year.

Between September 15, 2003, and June 25, 2004, Colorado late-term abortionist Warren Hearn gave Kerry the maximum allowed amount of $4,000.

Hearn says he performs abortions as late as the eight month of pregnancy, shortly before birth.
