I’M PERSONALLY OPPOSED TO CHILD ABUSE, BUT OF COURSE IT SHOULD BE LEGAL: Growl. David Blankenhorn has my back:

“…So it makes no sense at all for Sen. Kerry (and Gov. Cuomo)to expect to be taken seriously when they tell us, on the on hand, that they sincerely and ‘personally’ believe that abortion is the wrongful taking of innocent human life, but that on the other hand, something called the separation of church and state requires them to become tireless champions in the public square of a completely unrestricted right to abortion, such that they receive campaign contributions and Good Guy Awards from all the leading pro-choice organizations.

“What if they told us that they ‘personally’ believed in clean air and in corporations doing more to reduce air pollution, but that since that is a ‘religious’ belief — remember all those Bible verses about being good stewards? — they in fact, as a matter of actual politics and policy, have absolutely nothing to say regarding corporate-generated air pollutants and toxic wastes. We would laugh at them if they said that.”
