The headline almost reads like that’s a bad thing:
Tim Kaine, the Virginia governor and President Barack Obama’s hand-picked choice as the head of the Democratic National Committee, infuriated abortion-rights groups Monday by signing legislation that gives abortion foes a long-sought victory.
Kaine brushed off intense lobbying by abortion rights supporters in Richmond to sign a bill that allows Virginia motorists to advertise their anti-abortion views by sporting “Choose Life” specialty license plates.
The revenue from the specialty plates would go to crisis-pregnancy centers, which many abortion-rights backers believe proslyetize against abortion and encourage women to keep unwanted children.
If Kaine were merely the governor of the Old Dominion, the move might have been less notable. Kaine—a Catholic who says he is personally opposed to abortion but pledged to leave the right to choose intact—won office in Virginia partly by seeking to reassure social conservatives.
But he is now on a national stage. And his decision could echo among women’s activists who are among the most powerful financial supporters of the party.













I am personally opposed to murder, but I will leave intact the Mafia’s right to whack whomever they chose.
The RCC has porclaimed that abortion is sin. They have a wonderful opportunity to show they mean it by such things as not giving honorary degrees to promoters of the culture of death and denying communion or even excommunicating those who promote baby murder. I hope the do, but they may just prove to be another barking toothless dog. I hope not.
