John Kerry's Illogic on Abortion
Everyone's probably heard by now that John Kerry has picked John Edwards as his running mate. But we shouldn't overlook Mr. Kerry's latest contortion over the status of the unborn.

John Kerry stated "I believe life does begin at conception." But then he drags out that old fallacy that protecting those unborn lives would be imposing Catholic beliefs on people who subscribe to other religions. In reality, this is not some issue of abstract theological doctrine. The Catholic Church and its faithful followers (along with many Protestants, Jews, Muslims, atheists, etc.) are simply recognizing an objective natural reality.

The real question is, is our society inclusive enough to protect every human life at any stage or in any condition?
