Something happened in between 1972 and 1985. What happened? Well the Supreme Court of the United States decided in little known and rarely discussed case Roe v Wade that the right to choose is the law of the United States. The court found that abortion laws by individual states were not constitutional.

Roe V Wade was argue December 13, 1971, Reargued October 11, 1972(same day John made the quote) and decided January 22, 1973.

Then the supreme court rules that states do no have the right to pass legislation on the matter. At this point our Mr. Kerry had no choice (pun intended) but to change his views. Legally speaking it could not be a state issue.

You are in error. Our government is set up on a system of checks and balances. Sen Kerry was under no legal or moral obligation to change his views. He was, however, under political pressure to changed them.
