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.

I’m merely pointing out that you compared his record to Kaine. Kaine never supported restrictions on legal abortion as governor and has a 100% record from NARAL and PP since he entered the SEnate. And I know it’s not CA or MA, you’re getting this from a Kaine constiuent who doesn’t exactly live in a bright blue state and whose last governor in fact tried to push a transvaginal ultrasound law on the state’s women. I’m not disagreeing with you that Mello should have been supported but you did mischaracterize Kaine’s record on abortion since he’s been our governor and senator. That was the issue I had with what you said. HAd nothing to do with how much support Mello got.
