John Kerry.
At one point in my life I would be a card-carrying member of his campaign staff. I was an avid supporter of Bill Clinton ... both times ... and a proud Al Gore fan in 2000.
Now it's four years later. I'm married, I have a child and my eyes have been opened.
I found out that I was pregnant in January 2003. My first ob/gyn visit was a bit odd because my periods are FUNK-Y and it was difficult to pin-point my due date. So, they sent me down to get an ultrasound. I was a little over five-weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of September 28. I didn't get a copy of that scan because Isabella was so tiny ... just a dittle blob with... A BEATING HEART. Yes, you could see that little fast-beating blip on the screen!
A few weeks later, we had ultrasound number two. At only eight-weeks, three-days gestation, the child had a rapidly BEATING HEART and she was flipping around and having a jolly old time.
That was Feb. 27. Exactly nine weeks later we had our "BIG" ultrasound. (The one that takes about an hour-and-a-half.) Not only do they let mom and dad see every inch of their child (including the sex) they also check all of the organs to make sure that the child's development is on schedule and nothing funny shows up that might need medical attention before birth.
Thanks to a problem cervix, we had several more ultrasounds. It was an eye-opener... watching this child develop from five-weeks on. Amazing. Having a view of the world in the womb is awe-inspiring. To see your child, to watch it play, to hear its heartbeat.
I knew that abortion was the intentional, cold-blooded murder of an innocent child. There is no way to dispute the medical evidence that was sitting right in front of me!
So, as I watch Election 2004 unfold in front of me, I am faced with a decision.
Kerry claims to be a devout Catholic. He claims that he believes that life begins at conception and that abortion is wrong.
YET... he is against ANY restrictions on abortion and even voted AGAINST the partial birth abortion ban last year! He is quoted as saying: "There is no such thing as a partial birth. It is a late-term abortion. They have done a very effective job of giving people a sense of fear about it. It's part of their assault on the rights of women in America." Oh, and this was made in a speech during a PLANNED PARENTHOOD forum. (see http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2003/11/06/kerry_hits_ban_on_abortion_procedure/)
WHAT THE ... ?!?!
An overview of how a "late-term abortion" is done:

A Medical Doctor describes the Dilation and Evacuation Procedure
-- Dr. Tony Levatino, M.D.
Imagine for a moment that you are a "pro-choice" obstetrician-gynecologist as I once was. Your patient today is seventeen years old and she is twenty weeks pregnant. At twenty weeks, her uterus is up to her umbilicus and she has been feeling her baby kick for the last two weeks. If you could see her baby, she would be as long as your hand from the top of her head to the bottom of her rump not counting the legs. Your patient is now asleep on an operating room table with her legs in stirrups. Upon entering the room after scrubbing, you dry your hands with a sterile towel and are gowned and gloved by the scrub nurse.
The first task is remove the laminaria that had earlier been placed in the cervix to dilate it sufficiently to allow the procedure you are about to perform. With that accomplished, direct your attention to the surgical instruments arranged on a small table to your right. The first instrument you reach for is a 14-French suction catheter. It is clear plastic and about nine inches long. It has a bore through the center approximately ¾ of an inch in diameter. Picture yourself introducing the catheter through the cervix and instructing the circulating nurse to turn on the suction machine which is connected through clear plastic tubing to the catheter. What you will see is a pale yellow fluid the looks a lot like urine coming through the catheter into a glass bottle on the suction machine. This amniotic fluid surrounded the baby to protect her.
With suction complete, look for your Sopher clamp. This instrument is about thirteen inches long and made of stainless steel. At one end are located jaws about 2 ½ inches long and about ¾ on an inch wide with rows of sharp ridges or teeth. This instrument is for grasping and crushing tissue. When it gets hold of something, it does not let go.
A second trimester D&E abortion is a blind procedure. The baby can be in any orientation or position inside the uterus. Picture yourself reaching in with the Sopher clamp and grasping anything you can. At twenty weeks gestation, the uterus is thin and soft so be careful not to perforate or puncture the walls. Once you have grasped something inside, squeeze on the clamp to set the jaws and pull hard – really hard. You feel something let go and out pops a fully formed leg about 4 to 5 inches long. Reach in again and grasp whatever you can. Set the jaw and pull really hard once again and out pops an arm about the same length. Reach in again and again with that clamp and tear out the spine, intestines, heart and lungs.
The toughest part of a D&E abortion is extracting the baby’s head. The head of a baby that age is about the size of a plum and is now free floating inside the uterine cavity. You can be pretty sure you have hold of it if the Sopher clamp is spread about as far as your fingers will allow. You will know you have it right when you crush down on the clamp and see a pure white gelatinous material issue from the cervix. That was the baby’s brains. You can then extract the skull pieces. If you have a really bad day like I often did, a little face may come out and stare back at you.
Congratulations! You have just successfully performed a Suction D&E abortion. You just affirmed her right to choose. You just made $600 cash in fifteen minutes.
That's one way of performing the procedure. Here's abother common method, the one which carries the notorious "PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION" title:
These color illustrations of a partial-birth abortion were prepared on the basis of an instructional paper by an Ohio abortionist, explaining step by step how he performs the procedure. These drawings accurately depict a partial-birth abortion being performed on a baby at 24 weeks gestational age. Most partial-birth abortions are performed in the 20-26 week range (the fifth and sixth months), and some are performed even later.

After these procedures, mom goes home and baby goes into the biohazard waste bins.

I'm sorry, but Kerry is a bastard. He is NOT a Catholic. I pray to God that he is not elected.
Anyone who votes for him is guilty of the innocent blood that is lost thanks to his tenure.
