Can anyone verify if this is true? I will never vote for someone who supports murder, but i'll never vote for Bush either. Ugh...either way we're fucked.

Did you catch the debate the other night? Kerry discussed this issue and so did Bush. Kerry does not support abortion. He is a catholic from the get go. But as Kerry stated in his debate, his personal opinion cannot influence the law. The law is simply the law and its interpretation of the law. Kerry advises more education and abstinence to decrease the numbers of abortion.
Here is a great link on the issue

Now, mind you ? you have to read the full article.
"On abortion, I myself, by belief and upbringing, am opposed to abortion but as a legislator, as one who is called on to pass a law, I would find it very difficult to legislate on something God himself has not seen fit to make clear to all the people on this earth. . . . And I think, therefore, with a sense of justice in mind that one has to leave the question of abortion between a woman and her conscience and her doctor," he told the Sun, a Lowell, Mass., newspaper, in 1972.
