Ted Kennedy, Abortion Advocate

Known as "the lion of the Senate," U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy was one of the most formidable opponents to American conservatism ever to claim a seat in the Senate. NARAL awarded a 100% pro-abortion voting record to the Massachusetts senator, who also championed embryonic stem cell research and same-sex "marriage." One of the most infamous moments in Kennedy's career was his nearly single-handed defeat in 1987 of President Reagan's pro-life nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Robert Bork, whom Kennedy lambasted as envisioning America as "a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions." The speech ushered in a new era of senatorial contention over presidential nominations to the Supreme Court. LifeSiteNews
