Might I politely remind that this is the DEMOCRATIC underground and a pro-choice position is part of our platform?

*I* am Pro-life. *I* am Pro-choice.

Time Kaine is anti-choice.

It's a big fucking distinction.

on edit: Tim Kaine still votes for sanity, and has a great NARAL rating.

1. His current position is similar to Biden's - he's personally against it but votes for choice.

2. Not true. He has 100% rating from Planned Parenthood and NARAL.

He has always voted to support a woman's right to choose. He is against abortion, but feels the government has no right to interfere with women's health decisions. His viewpoint is identical to Joe Bidens.

3. I have never been more elated to stand corrected.

I am Catholic, so I can understand that position.

I will edit my OP

5. He is totally Pro-lifer!!!

Bad bad wally choice. Hope this is not Hillary's choice. I am already concerned based on her statement she is willing to negotiate with the republicans on this issue!

9. His stance on abortion is like Biden's. Get over it.

7. Hillary will not be anti-choice ever...

no matter who her VP is. We should all know this is one thing she would never do.

10. He's not anti-choice, as in literall he believes that women and their doctors

and families have the right to choose. He's against abortion and doesn't understand that there is no such thing as a "partial birth abortion" since it's a term that the anti-choicers made up.

When someone supports choice, and has personal views on abortion, it's a pretty big distinction too and it's unfair and incorrect to call them anti-choice.

11. He's personally opposed to it, but like Joe Biden doesn't believe the government should outlaw it.

There are plenty of people who have this view.
