Tim Kaine Schooled Mike Pence On Abortion
We should let women make their own decisions.
WASHINGTON ― Donald Trumps running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), has led the GOPs war on abortion rights and Planned Parenthood throughout his career. But it was Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine (D) who shined on the issue in the vice presidential debate Tuesday night, making a strong case for womens moral autonomy.
We can encourage people to support life, of course we can, said Kaine, a practicing Catholic. But why doesnt Donald Trump trust women to make this choice for themselves? Thats what we ought to be doing in public life: living our lives of faith or motivation with enthusiasm and excitement, convincing each other, dialoguing with each other about important moral issues of the day. But on fundamental issues of morality, we should let women make their own decisions.
While Kaine has personally struggled with the issue of abortion in the past because of his faith, he and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton both strongly support the Supreme Courts 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which protects a womans right to seek abortion up until the time the fetus would be viable outside the womb. Kaine attacked Trump on Tuesday night for saying women should face some form of punishment for having an abortion.
We support the constitutional right of American women to consult their own conscience and make their own decision about pregnancy. That is something we trust American women to do, Kaine said. And we dont think that women should be punished, as Donald Trump thinks they should, for making the decision to have an abortion.

Don't feed trolls. Don't comment, don't engage. Ignore. If enough of us do that

Your OP is divisive. You suggest anyone discussing Sanders' rhetoric is a Russian troll

See my post #47 above. The poster didn't bother to read the article they posted.

Didn't somebody endorse an anti-choice candidate and not endorse a pro-choice one?

Thanks, well put. It's the obsession over one guy that's getting divisive.

And I merely pointed out that this attitude amounts to throwing women under the bus.

Isn't there a way to block traffic coming from Russia and eastern bloc nations?

Several issues: (1) the few real trolls can use IPs in US (2) Russia/Trump can inflame real posters

Addressing Sanders' OWN words uttered recently isn't me or other DU'ers being trolls.

It seems that the trolls may be accomplishing their goals here with the Bernie pro/con threads. nt
