I like the way this is going. But I also just wish that JUST ONCE someone would say that "partial birth abortion" is a misnomer and then explain why a woman might make the choice to have a late-term abortion.
Donald Trump seems exactly like the kind of asshole that would try to force a woman to get an abortion.
Not that it matters (because it's a personal choice, and I only bring this up because it's a hypocrisy issue), but I'd absolutely be willing to bet this has happened.
And here I thought I'd hate Tim Kaine because of his views on abortion.
He's really good in handling the religious arguments there.
I love him so much for this because he is me! this is the argument we should have. We should hear a man whose religion is deeply felt and important to him saying that you can live that life with enthusiasm and not force your moral code on the country!!!

It's not pro-life to force women to have babies they didn't plan for, to try to raise with diminishing support from the government to earn 70 cents on every man's dollar with not enough means to pay for child care so that she can work and make a better life for herself and this life/family you've now foisted upon her. That is NOT pro-life. Nor is it pro-woman. At BEST it's pro birth.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
This faith question is pissing me the fuck off. Who cares what their religion is? It shouldn't matter.
I care! Because Tim Kaine's answer embodies what their responses should be. That the policy does not agree with my religious beliefs, but I did what the people needed me to do. Pence's answer is complete bullshit and is forcing his insane religious beliefs on other people! It is fucked up!
But why is religion brought into politics at all? I care about their opinions on abortion, on the death penalty, etc. But by saying we care about a politician's faith, I feel like that is assuming/suggesting a public servant has to HAVE a faith. What if someone is an atheist? I agree Pence shouldn't be forcing his faith on anyone and if a candidate brought up his faith on his own, fine. But I don't personally like a question to both candidates about faith suggesting candidates should/will/have to have a faith to begin with.

Being people together... that is a tough question. I didn't like Kaine's answer so much. Seems that Pence is winning this answer and sounds less canned. (I just puked a little admiting that.)
