kerry/edwards: no thanks

 

the main reason i cannot and will not vote for john kerry: abortion. most people know how strongly i feel about the issue. even though i am extremely pro-life, i still respect the opinions of others. but john kerry's position scares me.  most of the time pro-choice people think that life begins at birth. in that case, it seems much more logical and humane to allow abortion.

however kerry says that he believe life begins at conception. he also believes it's legal to end that life. isn't that putting a value on each individual life, saying that some are worth more than others? if we'll go that far, why not say that persons who are mentally retarded, have lower IQs, or are socially inept are less important than their counterparts?

i find it extremely dangerous to say it is ok to have state sanctioned killings for any specific group. funny thing is, i heard john kerry say the same thing in an old speech that was on CNN two nights ago in reference to the death penalty. i guess he just doesn't think that applies to babies.
