Were you a Kucinich fan when he was pro-life?

I'm a Kerry supporter, and I've seen many Democratic politicians flip-flop on the abortion issue over the years. Jesse Jackson used to be ardently pro-life, Bill Clinton was as Arkansas governor, Al Gore was pro-life as a Congressman and Senator, and don't forget Dick Gephardt. I will tell you one person who has never flip-flopped on this abortion issue: John Kerry. He didn't become pro-choice when it was politically expedient and when it seemed necessary to be pro-choice to win primaries. It just seems ridiculous to me that Kucinich suddenly became pro-choice right before he decided to make a presidential run. It is obvious that Kucinich has little to no chance at the nomination, so it's even more unbelievable that he would flip-flop. But, nevertheless, he did, and in doing so lost my respect. I myself am pro-choice, but I respected Kucinich's courage in being pro-life in a pro-choice dominant party. That respect I had for him is gone now.
