A few things.
1) It helps if you provide us with some background information on what a partial-birth abortion is - I had to do some googling before having a general idea of the act itself, but have yet to grasp its nuances - there's probably more to it than simply stating that the foetus is killed during birth, and there are probably reasons as to why there are those who oppose a ban (other than the usual 'OMG EvAl BABY EATERS!!!!1 ones), or why Kerry opposes it in particular. So do you have some more info, and in particular more info on why Kerry opposes the ban? As I wouldn't be surprised if there's a difference between opposing a particular bill and actually endorsing the act it was meant to ban; it wouldn't be the first time if people deliberately took Kerry's acts completely out of context to make him look worse than he is. So why did he oppose the ban, and did he actually state that he opposed the ban because he's in favour of partial birth abortion? And if that's the case, what are his reasons?
2) You will find that abortion is a big nono to discuss around here - courtesy of the moratorium on discussions of a religious nature. They always tend to end ugly, and there's a good chance your topic will be closed before long.
