If you oppose someone because you can’t imagine not being able to conveniently end the life that John Kerry now says he believes begins at conception, then have the courage to just say so. Don’t smear a decent person as a racist, a women hater, or a religious nut because you don’t have the courage to let your true feelings be known.
