John Kerry must think the electorate especially gullible - to particularly include we cretans on the pro-life side.

"I oppose abortion, personally. I don't like abortion. I believe life does begin at conception."

To contrast with this

Afterward, several parishioners asked him about his position on abortion and his vote against a recent bill that would have banned the late-term procedure opponents call "partial birth" abortion, according to a reporter for the Telegraph Herald who sat behind Kerry's pew. Kerry replied that he would have supported the ban if it had included an exception for the health of the mother.

To say one believes life begins at conception, then fall back and vote against a bill banning a gruesome procedure such as this, is incredulous. Then in April, he showed his pro-choice credentials at a rally including Planned Parenthood and NARAL, among others

"Abortion should be rare, but it should be safe and legal -- and the government should stay out of the bedrooms of America," he said to cheers and applause.

But if life begins at conception, Mr. Kerry, you have made the intellectually equivalent argument that killing is ok, but only when it's none of your business - a position that is very convenient and very unfortunate.

Just another example of Kerry's flip-flopping. He goes out to the Midwest, where folks are more socially conservative, and tries to pull this nonsense.
