Who 4 Prez?

Okay, I'm reading John Kerry's website. Haven't read much, haven't read any of Bush's yet. Kerry seems to me, a teenager who has no idea what went on during the Bush administration aside from the very obvious, to be rather... I can't think of a good word. But, the fact of the matter is, I like what he has to say. About everything but abortion.
The sad fact of the matter is that I cannot support someone who will allow a whole nation to commit murder legally. I will not.
How can we talk about "National Security" when even Americans who are still within the confines of their mother's womb can't be garunteed saftey? Straighten that out. Maybe that's the kind of attitude (the attitude that killing is okay as long as you believe it is) that's put our nation in the state it is.
I know it seems like kind of an extreme parallel, but here we go. The members of Al Queda had no problem whatsover killing thousands of Americans. They believed it was okay to kill these people because they were getting in the way of their ideal world, one that was centered around Islamic principles.
Fundamentally, how is that different from abortion? Women (and men) think it's fine to kill thousands of babies every day because it gets in the way of people's ideal lifestyles (i.e., one in which they don't have to spend an ounce of their energy tending to another human being or one in which they don't have to worry as much about financial problems.)
I see very little difference. We cannot stand tall and proud as the nation of equality or as the nation whose citizens are closely knit and help eachother out while we're killing our own people. We're killing the people who may have grown up to find the solution to our international conflicts. We're killing people who might find alternatives to stem cell research. We're killing their peers who will use the new methods of research to cure all of our diseases that cost us an our government so much pain and money.
We're destroying so much potential, guys...I'm so sad.
