Kerry Flip-Flopped On Leaving Abortion Up To States

Kerry Used To Say Abortion Should Be Left Up To States.

"I think the question of abortion is one that should be left for the

states

to decide," Kerry said during his failed 1972 Congressional bid.
("John Kerry On The Issues," The [Lowell, MA] Sun, 10/11/72)




Now Kerry Says Abortion Is Law Of Entire Nation.

"The right to choose is the law of the United States. No person has

the

right to infringe on that freedom. Those of us who are in government

have

a

special responsibility to see to it that the United States continues

to

protect this right, as it must protect all rights secured by the
constitution."
(Sen. John Kerry [D-MA], Congressional Record, 1/22/85)

amendments that might delay its enactment. 'Any amendment that would delay
enactment of the bill beyond this year is unacceptable,' the statement
