Ted Kennedy: Reality Check
What you won't hear from the main stream, fawning, media. A reality check on Mr. Kennedy's legacy which is far more checkered than will be admitted by the likes of MSNBC/CNN.

The Kennedy Family and Abortion
When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family, and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the very moment of conception.
Words penned by none other than Ted Kennedy to a constituent in 1971. Wow, what changed him from a pro-life to a pro-abortion senator? We have a clear answer from Anne Hendershott, writing in the Wall Street Journal. Fascinating.
At a meeting at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, Mass., on a hot summer day in 1964, the Kennedy family and its advisers and allies were coached by leading theologians and Catholic college professors on how to accept and promote abortion with a "clear conscience."
The theologians worked for a day and a half among ourselves at a nearby hotel. In the evening we answered questions from the Kennedys and the Shrivers. Though the theologians disagreed on many a point, they all concurred on certain basics . . . and that was that a Catholic politician could in good conscience vote in favor of abortion.
Al Mohler lists the result of the meeting: This is a chilling account of a meeting that, without any doubt, contributed to the deaths of countless unborn babies. At this meeting the Kennedy family was handed a theological rationale that served as political cover. It was a rationale that allowed this powerful family to put its influence in service of abortion rights, even as family members continued to claim identity as members of their church.
