"My voting position on abortion hasn't really changed," Kaine said in an interview with CNN's "State of the Union." "I am a Catholic and I accept the church's teaching on this issue, but I do not believe that the job of somebody in public life is to basically say, 'I'm a Catholic so my job is to make our lives consistent with Catholic doctrine and make everybody follow it.
"This is an important personal matter and I've always supported Roe V. Wade," Kaine said. "I think the last thing we need is government that intrudes upon the decision-making of women and men too when it comes to matters of whether it's abortion rights, contraception," said Kaine in an interview airing today

In order to be a democrat, one has to reject the Declaration of Independence.
Senator Kaine, is murder against Catholic doctrine? If so, perhaps you should not support any legislation that opposes it so as to avoid inflicting your church view on Americans.
Nobody’s voted on the basis of someone being Catholic since Kennedy and that was the LAST time ever.
Before that, you have to go to the turn of the century Italian and Irish neighborhoods in Northern cities.
I’m Catholic. I vote for whomoever will do the most to save the country and the innocent.
No one should vote JUST to match their faith.
OR their ethnicity or race.
If that was the case, I would have voted for Cuomo or Deblahblahblah. I’d chew glass first.
Got lucky with Rudy :)
I hear you!
:)
Thinking of putting a picture of Rudy on my mantle lol.
Next to dad/his dad/his dad’d dad and Reagan!!! :)
Crime in NYC was under control when he was mayor. No small achievement.
Like all supposed Catholic Democrats, Kaine speaks with forked tongue.
Part of my vending machine route was on 3rd avenue and brooklyn.
The crackheads and prostitutes were my best customers at the soda machines bolted to the garages.
He nearly drove me out of business :)
When abortion “rights” demonstrations first began, I was
fairly young. I didn’t back it. The feminists said they
wanted it “safe, legal, and RARE”. Well, abortion has
turned into MILLIONS of dead human beings, sold in bulk to
the highest bidder as a “product”. HORRORS! To think. Women
back then were manipulated by pictures of SIMPLE COAT
HANGERS! - Genocide. Don’t get me started on GENOCIDE,
especially against BLACK PEOPLE. I call it “Margaret
Sanger’s cruel joke against black people”. Only I think
she called them “Negroes”.
I’m sure. :)
many will come bearing false witness.
Mother Teresa's declaration may be the most powerful statement in 2016 from which to begin discussions of murder, ambushes, and terrorists among us.
The sole reason these rights were deemed unalienable is that both are derived from the Creator--not from the mother or father, and not from government or judicial decision. What is "granted" by human decision also can, by implication, be withheld.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them (life and liberty)," said Thomas Jefferson.
"The world is different now. . . and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address
That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and every protection of our Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life and liberty, of laws to protect them, and it distinguishes ours from other forms of government.
When we fail to acknowledge that foundation of our liberty, then we risk liberty itself for future generations, for where does the right to choose who lives and who does not really end?
That is why the question is of vital importance in each election. Already, we have deprived millions of their Creator-endowed rights to life and liberty, and our nation must be weaker for their loss. We need leaders who understand the implications and potential consequences of departing from our founding principles.
In recent decades, technological advances have enabled us to observe the characteristics and actions of God's tiniest creations in the womb. Unlike previous generations who could not see, we have no excuse for imagining that these are mere blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." In their early weeks, we now can see that they are living babies who will continue on to possess life and liberty if we do not "destroy" both. Indeed, they are simply smaller versions of ourselves.
Questions on the economy, taxes, threats from terrorists, health care--all are considerations at this election time. One, however, may be basic to all others. Who will best protect the underlying premise of our Constitution--and the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn?
Promises are illusive and cheap. Voters might examine each candidate's previous voting record carefully on all issues, because past actions are the best predictors of future decisions.

>> “many will come bearing false witness.” <<
WE call them Democrats.
What a lying weasel hypocrite!!!
Apparently, Kaine wouldn't have any problem with pro-abortionists imposing their irreligious beliefs on everyone vis a vis the repeal of the Hyde Amendment which currently prohibits the taxpayer funding of abortion. Kaine now supports the repeal of the Hyde Amendment!!!
...Abortion, though, remains a point of difference between the pair. Kaine said he supports the Hyde Amendment, a 40-year-old rule preventing federal taxpayer dollars from funding abortions. That contradicts comments by Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in a July 24 "State of the Union" appearance. Kaine "has said that he will stand with Secretary Clinton to defend a woman's right to choose, to repeal the Hyde Amendment," Mook quoted Kaine as saying.
"My voting position on abortion hasn't really changed," Kaine said in the interview aired Sunday. "I support the Hyde Amendment. I haven't changed that." Tapper pressed Kaine, saying Mook told CNN otherwise. "That is not accurate and I don't think Robby has said that, Jake," Kaine responded. Clinton spokesperson Jesse Ferguson told CNN on July 26 that Kaine's commitment to stand with Clinton on repealing the Hyde Amendment "was made privately."
Kaine said in the interview that he thought about his differences with Clinton over abortion before joining the ticket. As a potential vice president "I had to get comfortable with the notion that I can have my personal views but I'm going to support the president of the United States, and I will.".....read more...
