THE CULTURE WARS ARE A ROUT:
Tim Kaine Still Believes That Poor People Shouldn't Be Allowed to Pay for Abortions With Medicaid (Eric Levitz, 7/29/16, New york)
On Friday, Kaine snuffed out such ambiguities, telling CNN, "I have been for the Hyde Amendment. I haven't changed my position on that."In one sense, Kaine's opposition to repealing Hyde may seem irrelevant. There isn't a congressional majority for repealing the law right now, and there won't be for a long time (if ever).But a Democratic vice-president who supports the Hyde Amendment won't help bring that majority into being.
