I salute Kerry for his position of maintaining the separation of church and state that is so important to allowing the existence of religious liberty in this country.

Hey the accidental fact that he gets to both claim he's a conservative Catholic believing strongly that human life starts at conception to cool down the zealous Catholic vote AND at the same time be a activist for pro abortion, thus pleasing THAT voting block has nothing to do with it, right?

I notice you did not claim to be a practising Catholic today. Kerry's situation is different. His faith/belief that human life begins at conception says that he BELIEVES that those are human beings being aborted (killed). And not only does he do nothing about his "belief", awful enough in itself, but instead he's fanatical for extremes like partial birth abortions, something the majority of pro-choice senators do NOT support. Hmmmm.
