John Kerry: I approve of this message– if I had just one
Kerry Flip-Flops Yet Again on Abortion
Pro-abortion groups and other Democrats immediately started screaming after Kerry said Wednesday that he was open to nominating pro-life judges.
Handlers quickly issued a statement that Kerry would not name anyone to the Supreme Court who supported abortion control.
"He is sending a very confusing message," Eleanor Smeal, president of Feminist Majority, complained today.
Kerry being Kerry, this is not his biggest episode of flip-flopping on abortion. Like Al Gore and Dick Gephardt before they developed ambitions for the White House, he once opposed abortion wrongs.
Although his campaign claims he was always pro-abortion, he said when running for Congress in 1972:
"It's a tragic day in the lives of everybody when abortion is looked on as an alternative to birth control or as an alternative to having a child. I think that's wrong. It should be the very last thing if it has to be anything, and I say that not just because I'm opposed to abortion but because I think that's common sense."
