Bishops ‘Outraged’ over Pro-Infanticide Vote by ‘Catholic’ Tim Kaine
Two Virginia Bishops have issued a statement condemning Tuesday’s pro-infanticide vote by self-declared “Catholic” senator Tim Kaine.
“We are deeply dismayed and astounded that the U.S. Senate has failed to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,” reads the joint statement by Arlington Bishop Michael F. Burbidge and Richmond Bishop Barry C. Knestout.
Requiring health care practitioners to give the same degree of care to babies surviving abortions as they do to other newborns is a matter of “common sense” and “basic human decency,” the bishops said.
The bishops go on to say they are “dismayed and outraged” that Virginia’s two U.S. Senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, “voted against this critical lifesaving legislation.”
Mark Warner is a Presbyterian, so he is technically outside of the Catholic bishops’ fold, whereas Tim Kaine regularly flaunts his Catholic credentials.
All of the 44 senators who voted against the bill were Democrats and seven of them call themselves Catholics, namely: Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Ed Markey (D-MA), Bob Menendez (D-NJ).
