You’re misrepresnting Kaine’s record on abortion. Kaine never used his time as Va’s governor and Senator to support restrictions on abortion rights. Mello did during his time in the legislature form what I’ve read.

Yeah, no. Heath Mello signed on to legislation in the Unicameral that was a compromise to a Republican bill to far further restrict abortion rights.

Mr. Mello’s compromise bill to mandatory ultrasounds was a bill that would have doctors note that ultrasounds were available, but entirely voluntary. That was the bill that passed, not the GOP “You Must Get An Ultrasound And Listen To GOP Lies About Abortion” bill.

Is that an ideal bill? No. This isn’t California or Massachusetts. Omaha has exactly one Planned Parenthood office, and Mayor Stothert wants it shuttered. Heath Mello did not. (There are only two offices in the state; the other is in Lincoln.)

Until the Democratic Party starts supporting Democrats in this state, the Dems are lucky that Mayor Stothert even had a challenger at all.
