Teresa Heinz Kerry abortion - This is all they could get on Kerry?
WASHINGTON - Teresa Heinz Kerry nearly underwent an abortion some 30 years ago on a doctor's recommendation because she had been taking cortisone early in her pregnancy, but a miscarriage rendered the decision moot.

Bot that's some damaging dirt there...

1. Republicans are big on condemning you for thinking of doing.
Odd, considering Republican scandals show that they think of doing very nasty things indeed.

5. Looks like the Kerry's are the ones coming forward with it
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&u=/ap/20040507/ap_on_el_pr/heinz_kerry_abortion_3&printer=1

In an interview that will air Friday on ABC's "20/20," the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) discussed her experience, the clamor for her to release her income tax returns, the campaign and her reputation for outspokenness.

During her first marriage, Heinz Kerry said she wanted a fourth child after the birth of her son Christopher in March 1973. She said she had a "severe reaction to something," was taking heavy cortisone medicine and did not realize she was pregnant.

"I told my doctor I think I'm pregnant and ... he said well then if you're pregnant, you have to abort that baby ... and I was very upset ... I didn't want to have an abortion, but they gave me 15 days because it was early and the night before I was due to go in, I miscarried it. So God was very kind," she said.

Heinz Kerry stressed that she favors abortion rights "because I'd like to have that choice myself."

Speaking to interviewer Barbara Walters, Heinz Kerry said, "I presume that most women will look at a choice like that as a terrible choice. But they should be given the chance to make it as I was."


I don't think this is the end for Kerry's campaign. The GOP will run with it like it is, but it will be a non-issue. The Kerrys going on the offensive is a good move, since it may have come out soon enough. Let them be in the driver's seat. This was a health issue anyways, and posed a danger to the mother and child.

Besides, she was married to a Republican at the time. And what was Dubya doing at the time, anyways? He does not want to visit that time. On the other hand, how much has the early 70s really hurt him?

6. O'Reilly will set levege oforPickles...
He'll say Teresa killed her unborn child or let it die. Pickles bush killed her boyfriend, got away with it, became a born again kkkristian and librarian, no need to mention Pickle's murderer.

Tesesa is a smart woman. It shows that she doesn't trust anyone, when it comes to politics. The miscarriage would have come up since the repigs are looking inside her panties, like they did Hillary, to smear her. And if the doctor became an abortion doctor, the repigs would directly say that Teresa was seeking an abortion.

P.S. Was Christian Amanpour fired from CNN? I haven't seen her in months. She was the mid-Easterner correspondence.

7. so who gives a big one!!
His wife's attempted abortion (if it was that) is of no interest to anyone apart from his family and himself. Besides, what does a personal event which ha ppened 30yrs ago have to do with the current deplorable mess this assbrain has led us into?

8. If they're making a big deal about Kerry's
heritage...French, Jewish...going back to the 17th century, a couple of centuries and 30 years are fair game for the repigs. The repigs are here to destroy Kerry and family. If we watch the fok up mess in Iraq, we can pinpoint the fok up mess of their election personal destruction toward Kerry and win.

Before, bush had more of his wicket followers doing the dirty work for him, lately he's been up front discrediting Kerry, himself. DaDick took a big hit when he came after Kerry's military record. It will be a while before da Dick comes forward. Wicket bush's polls are at a stand still. He has polls running 24/7, dreaming of getting his groove again.
