Of Course, I See, That Makes Sense
Kerry's "I believe life begins at conception" comment, explained. You see, a foetus is "alive", it's just not "a person".
So: Kerry says that he's personally opposed to abortion because of his Catholic faith. But when you press him for details, he doesn't seem to believe any of the specific things the Church teaches about abortion. The Church teaches that one's personhood begins at the moment of conception, and that abortion is therefore a kind of homicide. Kerry doesn't believe either of these things, and will tell you so. Kerry may indeed be "personally opposed" to abortion, but whatever reason he has it's not because he believes what the Catholic Church teaches.
A dumb question: Why exactly does Mr. Kerry personally oppose abortion? To oppose something is, as I take it, to believe there's something wrong about it. So, Mr. Kerry, what precisely is wrong about abortion?
