the Democrats held a convention without either their presidential or their vice-presidential nominee’s saying a word about abortion? I’ve read Kerry’s speech three times, and I see no reference to Roe, to the right to choose, to reproductive rights, or to the Supreme Court. The closest Kerry comes is a vague reference to a full march to equality for women needing to be completed and the crack about an attorney general who upholds the Constitution–which is to say, he doesn’t come very close.
