In the past I knew he was opposed to abortions which didn't put him on the top of the list as favorite democrats.
I just heard Rachel say on MSNBC that Kaine came out this year saying he fully protects the rights of a woman to choose.
Thank you Senator-Elect Kaine!

I do see Tim Kaine as one of the potentials to be running for President in 2016.
Kaine has shown to be successful running in a state that sometimes seems to be teetering on red.

I'm hoping that he is pro-choice from his heart. Truly pro-choice, and not just for political expediency.

It's really easy for men to be knee jerk antiabortionists, not so easy when they have to justify it to mothers, wives and daughters.
