Frankly I think it's a damn good thing Kerry had the courage to vote against this bill until there's an amendment, even on such a politically damaging issue like this when his stance is mis-represented.

I can't help feeling that anybody who thinks that the life of an unborn baby is worth more than that of the mother has to have lost sight of their perspective...the mother must have the right to a termination if her health is at risk.

It's the lesser of two evils - no-one is saying that killing unborn babies is a good thing, but refusal to have an abortion in certain cases would lead to the death of both mother and baby. To deny her the right to protect her health is just another example of why religious beliefs should stay the hell away from law-making.
