In a press release issued on Friday, Catholic League president William Donohue accused Senator John Kerry of floating on the abortion issue because he wants the Catholic vote.
Donohue made this comment in reference to Kerry’s recent television interview with ABC TV anchor Peter Jennings.
“Senator Kerry recently said he believes life begins at conception,” Donohue pointed out. “Accordingly, Peter Jennings asked, why isn’t ‘even a first-trimester abortion not murder?’
“Because it’s not the form of life that takes personhood in the terms that we have judged it to be in the past. It’s the beginning of life,” Kerry replied.
