Kaine Hints at Opposition to Caring for Newborn Abortion Survivors
Posted By Bill McMorris On February 22, 2019
Democratic senator Tim Kaine has been silent on whether he supports legislation to protect infants who survive abortion, but told a constituent he opposed weakening Roe v. Wade.
A constituent asked the Virginia senator whether he would support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act after Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) endorsed withholding life-saving care to infants during a radio interview. Kaine, who has insisted on his personal pro-life beliefs rooted in his Catholic faith, dodged the question even as he acknowledged that the bill would only apply to abortion survivors.
"This bill would establish new requirements for health care practitioners in the case of a fetus who survives an abortion," he replied in a Feb. 12 letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. "I support the right of women to make their own health and reproductive decisions. For that reason, I oppose efforts to weaken the basic holding of Roe v. Wade."
