Kerry Vows to Protect Abortion When Choosing Judges

John Kerry may have made a fatal error tonight in the debate. First, he affirmed that the appointment of judges is one of the most critical factors in choosing a President. Secondly, 1n his attempt to prove that President Bush will have a "conservative" litmus test in choosing judges, he affirmed that he will on choose judges "who will respect a woman's right to choose."

This may be a critical error if conservative organizations can get the message out that Kerry will affirm abortion and possibly expand it through his court appointments. Kerry's choice to affirm Roe v. Wade through his judicial appointments amounts to a litmus test which will bring pro-life and pro-family voters out to the polls.

Pro-life grassroots efforts have always been much more effective because they affect "water cooler" discussion. Democrat grassroots generate angry protests.
