Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe issued a campaign promise to exempt existing abortion clinics from state health and safety standards. The promise came amid concerns that inability to meet minimum health and safety standards could lead to the closure of all the state’s abortion providers.
“The notion that these clinics need to be as pristine as a hospital is flawed thinking,” McAuliffe said. “Given the objective being served I think the standards applicable to a waste disposal facility would be more appropriate.”
McAuliffe dismissed contentions that any unilateral actions he might take to absolve clinics from observing the law would be beyond his power as Governor. “As the state’s chief executive I could, like President Obama has done, use discretion in determining which laws would be enforced,” McAuliffe asserted. “And should there be any slip-ups at a lower level I could always use my authority to pardon any lawbreakers.”

Terry McAuliffe revealed - please Virginia, do not elect this evil man.
“the standards applicable to a waste disposal facility would be more appropriate”
Unbelievably evil. Not only that the thought was in his head but that he felt comfortable enough saying it.
Abortions=waste disposal,,,dumping of unwanted babies.
Yeah, that’s right...being pro-women by de-regulating abortion mills so they get care from guys like Goslin, right, McAwful?
VA women, wake the hell UP!!!!
I believe that this is satire. (Note that the link says ‘Semi-News/Semi-Satire’)
I would hope that McAuliffe was not that stupid or evil to say such a thing, however, given the lowering of so many moral values, it is not out of the realm of possibilities sadly.
ping for later
Your satire reads so close to real news that I have to check the source every time
