Abortion

"There is no question that Republican Jerry Kilgore is an extremely anti-choice candidate who would sign a bill eliminating the right to choose in Virginia, and who might even sign legislation curtailing access to contraception for Virginians. Tim Kaine, the Democrat, has said he would not sign such legislation, but he embraces many of the restrictions on a woman’s right to choose that are opposed by NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia." ......... NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia

Kilgore 
- Against Partial Birth Abortion, period*1 
- Against abortion except in cases of rape and incest and to protect the life of the mother 
- Supports requiring all abortion mills to comply with hospital health and licensing standards 
- Supports parental notification when a minor has an abortion 
- Supports informed consent, ensuring that a woman has the information needed to make an informed decision 24 hours prior to an abortion. 
- Leading proponent of "Connor's Law" that makes it a separate crime to unlawfully and maliciously kill an unborn baby 
- Endorsed by Nation's leading pro-life organization, National Right to Life Committee 
- Endorsed by Virginia's largest pro-life organization, Virginia Society for Human Life Political Action Committee
- Endorsed by Family Values Alliance 

*2 - Certified doctors have testified before Congress that partial birth abortion is more stressful on a woman's body than natural delivery and that the only reason a partial birth abortion is ever performed is to kill the baby.   For a description of the barbarous partial birth abortion, see http://www.abortioninfo.net/facts/pba.shtml.

Kaine 
- Despite his "faith based" opposition to abortion, supports even Partial Birth Abortion*2 
- Described as pro-abortion by Life and Liberty Ministry 
- Supports abstinence-focused education 
- Supports ensuring women’s access to health care (including legal contraception) 
- Supports promoting adoption as an alternative for women facing unwanted pregnancies. 
- Calls legislation requiring the "unnecessary building standards for doctor's offices that perform abortions" political grandstanding

*2 - Just as done by numerous deceptive politicians, Kaine weasel words his position by declaring he is against the Partial Birth Abortion except where it endangers the health of the mother. The "health of the mother" clause is a significant loophole that enables any woman to get an abortion at any time and these "right to kill" politicians know it. 

Potts

- "Would veto "more stringent regulations on clinics" 
- "Would veto legislation requiring pharmacists to deny contraceptives or the morning after pill."
