Kerry won’t impose his views on Americans

... except when he will. Robert Novak writes of the debate last Friday:

The way this issue works was shown in the town-hall-style debate when selected questioner Sarah Degenhart asked Kerry for assurances that "tax dollars would not go to support abortion." He answered as he often does when he is on the wrong side in terms of national support. Not addressing the question of federal funding (which is unpopular), the senator made a Clinton-like gesture of feeling Sarah's pain. As a lifelong Catholic and former altar boy, he said, "I cannot tell you how deeply I respect the belief about life and when it begins." But, he said, he could not impose his views on others.

But if he could not impose his views on others, why does he support using tax dollars to subsidize abortions? Get out of my face, Senator Kerry: when you use our tax dollars to subsidize abortions, you are forcing us to pay for things that are abhorrent to us. Your statements show that you are not neutral. You are pro-abortion, and you want to impose your view on us.
