A newspaper in Iowa revealed yesterday that Presidential Candidate John F. Kerry hates abortion and believes that life begins at conception, but is opposed to legislating his beliefs onto others who don’t share them.
In an interview that ran in Dubuque's Telegraph Herald, Kerry spoke again about his Catholic faith and his controversial support of abortion.
"I'm a person of faith, and I care enormously about my faith," Kerry told the Telegraph Herald during an interview held on his campaign bus, while traveling through Wisconsin and Iowa as part of his blaze across "Heartland America."
"I'm confident I wouldn't be here if God didn't help carry me through," he said, after revealing that during the Vietnam War, he wore a rosary around his neck and prayed during combat.
