What the hell is wrong with John Kerry?

14. He didn't come out against it - here is the statement

"In a statement, Kerry said, "I think the Administration is working towards a final rule that reflects a reasonable compromise. I think there's a way to protect everybody's interest here. I think you can implement it effectively in a way that protects women's access, but at the same time protects people's religious beliefs, and that should be everyone’s goal.""

To me, the problem is that TPM overstated it's headline. Kerry's statement here is obviously in reference to a question (an other article with part of the comment said Fox News, but didn't give the question. The answer seems to be in reference to what the Obama administration is doing - and it is far less explicit in favor of a compromise than Biden's comment. It is as nondescript a response as you can get and pretty vague.

TPM seems to be being quoted as Kerry being against the provision, when there is nothing he said that suggests that.
