Is the New Future Chairman of the Democrat Party Pro-Life?

Michael Sean Winters over at America's magazine blog sometimes says the strangest things and yesterday was no exception. See his entry A Pro-Life DNC Chair!. He proclaims " I never thought I would live to see the day. If anyone had any doubts about Barack Obama’s willingness to listen to pro-life Democrats, his selection of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine to head the Democratic National Committee should settle those doubts. Obama means business." WHAT?

Mr Blosser over at American Catholic basically asks what is Winters smoking. See Obama taps pro-life Catholic for DNC Chair? — Guess again.

Catholic Online exposed this myth and fallacy last August. See their Op-ed Governor Kaine, On Abortion 'A Crime Can Never Be Turned into a Right!'. They said correctly:

Governor Tim Kaine is not like Kansas Governor Katherine Sebellius, an openly dissident Catholic also rumored as being considered by Senator Obama. During her campaign for Governor she counted among her supporters notorious late term abortionist George Tiller! Her public support of unrestricted abortion as a “right” has properly earned her the public ecclesial reprimand of her Bishop.

No, Governor Tim Kaine takes the ‘Mario Cuomo’ doublespeak approach (personally opposed but…) to abortion,but with a unique use of the popular term “faith based”. He says he has a “faith based opposition” to the taking of innocent human lives in the first home of the whole human race. However, he has made it very clear in his governing that will not support legal efforts to stop the killing. He says wants to reduce the number of children killed by having less born.

That is all nice and dandy but Daschle, as is BHO, are on record as favoring a nationalized health care system in which we have to pay for abortions, even after viability.

BHO is going to reverse the Mexico City policy, and sign the FOCA which will invalidate any and all restriction on abortion...

However, at the end of the day they are Dems and can place whomever they want, but he is NOT pro life, no is his master Barry.
