Presidential Hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says He Supports Abortion, Yet Supports The Catholic Church

Published last month, Roman Catholic outlet Personhood Alliance noted that Kennedy is a ‘nominal’ abortionist who supports pro-choice; as does his campaign manager Dennis Kucinich, a former Ohio state and federal Representative, who rose to prominence due to his outspokenness of President Bush and the Iraq War, and also claimed to be pro-life back in the early 2000s.

Personhood Alliance noted:

RFK Jr.’s evolution on abortion seems to mirror that of every other pro-life Democrat who aspires to a national position within the Democratic party.

Interestingly, he recently appointed another “pro-life” Democrat, Dennis Kucinich to lead his campaign.

Dennis Kucinich himself, had a pro-life track record during his time as an Ohio state legislator and his early terms in congress, even professing that he believed life began at conception; but by 2003 Kucinich had risen to prominence for his opposition to the Iraq war and had become the leader of the House progressive caucus and was making a run for President in 2004. Given the tantalizing possibility of turning anti-war sentiment into a position of national power within the Democrat party, Kucinich dropped his pro-life stance and professed to be pro-abortion.

It now appears that RFK Jr. might be doing the same thing Kucinich tried to do in 2004 minimizing his past position of being nominally against abortion, and “evolving” into a more palatable position for the Democratic primary voter.

In comments made to Newsweek, an RFK Jr. campaign representative told the magazine that he “believes strongly in the principle of bodily autonomy, whether the issue is abortion or medical mandates … He will keep government away from women’s childbearing choices. The moral issues are best left to the woman, her family, and her religious community.”

While neither abortion nor the euphemism of “reproductive rights” appear on RFK Jr.’s official campaign website, https://www.kennedy24.com/, last week he did give an interview with Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar in which he called abortion a “tragedy” but also said he didn’t think “government should tell people what to do with their bodies.”

Furthermore, on June 5th JFK Jr. was also interviewed by The Epoch Time’s Roman Balmakov, where the Democrat-elect echoed the same sentiment as he did when he was a guest on Breaking Points. However, he did say that he was “troubled” by late-term abortion.

I think you know until a fetus is viable for the first three months, and it needs to be the women’s choice and not the state’s choice.

Most recently, on June 23rd, RFK Jr. was a guest on WMUR 9’s “Conversation With the Candidate,” where he reaffirmed his pro-choice posture once again, when asked by a crowd member in attendance. Interestingly, he did say that he feels “every abortion is a tragedy,” but still believes that the government should not be allowed to dictate American’s personal health and bodily autonomy. But to the same token, he also said that he would like to try and end or at least limit late third-trimester abortions.

RFK Jr. of course is most well-known for his longtime advocacy for people’s individual health rights, especially when it comes to things like vaccines, and the medical establishment and Big Pharma; which was greatly propelled into the limelight since 2020, heavily criticizing the policies and Covid-related mandates implemented since that time.

Kennedy has also been a proponent of green energy and renewables, targeting “dirty energy” and those conglomerates, going so far as to say one time that he thinks “climate change deniers” should be thrown in jail, The WinePress reported in April.

Kennedy has also been a longtime ally of well-known Democrat politicians and figures, some of whom include President Biden who he is running against on the Democratic ticket.

In an interview with Yahoo in January, 2020, RFK Jr. said at the time – when asked about the Democratic nominee race at the time, he said that they all had better green and environmental policies versus President Donald Trump.

When asked about endorsements, he said that he particularly liked Tulsi Gabbard’s foreign policy stances and aligns most with her. Gabbard – a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader – converted to non-partisanship earlier this year, but landed a job at Fox News and has even filled in for Tucker Carlsen on occasion.

RFK Jr. noted that he and his family have “very strong relationships with most of the candidates.” He added that his children were working for the former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor and WEF Young Global Leader Pete Buttigieg, who is now the current Transportation Secretary; and Jr.’s cousin Joe worked with Elizabeth Warren. Furthermore, he said that “there are a number of other members of my family who are working for Joe Biden.”

Commenting on Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s (D-NY) Green New Deal, Jr. said that we “ought to be pursuing that,” though he still has his own approach, believing that “carbon taxes” would help America transition away from being a “coal-based economy.”

Interestingly enough, RFK Jr. also called for this:

We ought to have a market-based economy that does what the market is supposed to do, which is to reward good behavior, which is efficiency; and punish bad behavior which is inefficiency.

Also worth noting, Personhood Alliance pointed out his Catholic faith, in times past at least. Again, the outlet noted:

Adding to RFK Jr.’s political complexity is the fact that he comes from a Catholic background and is one of eleven siblings from the most devout branch of the Kennedy clan.

However, like President Donald Trump, FK Jr. has a checkered personal past: he has been divorced twice and married three times, throughout his life he has been accused of serial adultery, and as a young adult, he was addicted to heroin.

Yet, despite his inner demons, RFK Jr., did grow into the faith of his parents and is said even to attend daily Mass.

Asked why he attends daily Mass, he said, “I don’t do it because I’m a holy person or a particularly good person, but because I’ve got a constant struggle going on in my head between doing good things and bad things, and I need a lot of help in order to do the right thing on a day-to-day basis.”

Kennedy said in an interview with the Boston Globe

In a 2005 interview with Michael Paulson of the Boston Globe, RFK Jr. was quoted as considering himself to be pro-life.

That year, he published a book on St. Francis of Assisi called St. Francis of Assisi: a Life of Joy.

In addition to his environmental activism, RFK Jr. has supported traditionally progressive causes such as criminal justice reform, socialized healthcare, anti-war and anti-capitalist policies, the decriminalization of drugs and a general loosening of sexual morality including the support of same sex “marriage.”

In the past, RFK Jr. also endorsed and worked for the campaigns of Al Gore, John Kerry and Barack Obama.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

None of this should come as to any real surprise to WinePress readers, that this guy is just another reprehensible establishment shill; but I mention all this because RFK Jr. is getting a LOT of attention and a lot of hype behind him.

From what I can discern, the mainstream legacy media is doing the same thing to him as they did to Trump when he announced his presidential campaign in 2015 and going into 2016. The media keeps giving him all kinds of “bad press.” I mean, the media continues to incessantly repeat right up front that he has ‘no chance of winning’ and he’s a “long shot,” or he’s a ‘disgraced conspiracy theorist.’ At the same time a LOT of so-called “conservative” and alternative media is hyping him, and treating him as the next best thing.

Truth be told, a lot of people don’t want Trump anymore. Granted, he still has a huge base, but a lot of his supporters are sick of him and all the drama, and are starting to realize they got played by him; and people are not really all that hip with establishment Republican Ron DeSantis at this point, and pretty much everyone across the board does not want Biden. Therefore, people are turning to RFK Jr., who is capitalizing on The Covid War and the Ukraine War as to why people should vote him, among other things of course.

At one point in time I had said I think DeSantis might have been the guy, and while it is still WAY too early at this point, neither does it really matter at the end of the day, but I am seriously starting to wonder if Kennedy will be the next puppet for President.

Time will tell, and there is a whole lot of it between then and now.

At the end of the day, RFK Jr. is more of the same: another Catholic in the club who is pro-abomination and pro-all the things the Bible declares to be wickedness, under the guise of “personal liberty.”

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
