Teresa slips her leash, opens her mouth
2004-04-26
Teresa Heinz Kerry says she's pro-choice but believes abortion is "stopping the process of life," it was reported yesterday."I don't view abortion as just a nothing," said Heinz Kerry in an interview with Newsweek, in which she took a side in the long-festering debate over when life begins.
Unlike her husband, who took both sides.
The comments on abortion by the wife of presumed Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry came during a weekend where an estimated half-million people marched in Washington to support women's reproductive rights. "My belief - and I maybe am very wrong - is that women, generally speaking, do not want to have abortions," Heinz Kerry said. "With the exception of people who are mindless - and there will always be mindless people of both sexes - most women wouldn't want to," she added.
So, the wife of the presumed Democratic nominee for President just called women who want abortions, "mindless". Anyone see this on ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/PBS, etc?
Heinz Kerry once said that she was "not 100% pro-choice," but told the magazine that now the issue is black and white for her. "I ask myself if I had a 13-year-old daughter who got drunk one night and got pregnant, what would I do. Christ, I'd go nuts," Heinz Kerry said.
It'd be a short trip.
Asked if he shares his wife's views, Kerry told Newsweek, "I do not know the answer to that. We've never - she's never had to vote."
"I didn't know she had a view, or a SUV, I was in Vietnam."
Kerry appeared at an abortion rights rally in Washington Friday, saying, "Abortion should be rare but it should be safe and legal. And the government should stay out of the bedrooms of Americans." Both husband and wife agree that she is more traditional in her values than the Massachusetts senator, owing to the fact that she's five years older. "He's of the generation of the Beatles, and that's the line of demarcation," Heinz Kerry said.
So, it is all the drugs he took in the 60's.

#13  #10 There were 1,150,000 people at the march on Sunday.

Who am I to quibble about a half-mil? However, AP places the number at “between 500,000 and 800,000 people” from “across the nation and from nearly 60 countries.” Interesting . . . This is such a crucial time, for (them) such a crucial issue, and this is the best they can do? As I understand the trends, more and more youth (who realize they could have been aborted) are more and more against abortion.

#12  "There were 1,150,000 people at the march on Sunday. I was there, by the way."
To march FOR abortion? Then you must have been the only *man* there.
Like your ladies to have those unfortunate "conceptions" aborted, do you?

#9  It won't be long, Stephen. The way Kerry was hammered on ABC this morning by Charlie Gibson, I don't expect his name to be on the ballot come November.

#8   I think MS.Heinz Kerry is stating what most Americans believe,we don't want abortions,but we want abortion legal just in case.While this might drive true believers on either side nuts,I doubt her honesty will hurt Kerry among most voters.
Wonder how long before first wistful column suggesting wrong spouse is running for President is printed.(Yes I know she is not eligible.)

#7  He's manipulating her. Her faux French husband, who is not a real man, will have a tough time competing with that!

#6  John French-looking Kerry bores everyone, Frank G.
Personally, I think Tarayyyyza has the Hots big time for Karl Rove, and he's just manipulating her! j/k

#5  Ok, ok, I get the hint. It was supposed to be "leash", but it's Monday morning, I haven't had my third cup of coffee, people keep coming in and wanting me to work, and Fred's spell checker still isn't working.

#4  "Lease" is a good word.

Teresa is 'leasing' John. She gets prestige, access to VIPs, etc. He gets $X per month.

Seems reasonable to me.

#3  Frank G - Or if John Frenchlooking Kerry starts to bore her?

#2  Frank, I had th esame question. My guess is that Terayzah hasn't leased anything in a long time.

#1  should the title have been "leash"? Or is this a subtle commentary on their marriage should some available richer lady come along?
