National and state pro-life groups are asking Virginians to protest outside of and attend a town hall meeting Saturday featuring Delegate Kathy Tran, who recently sponsored and defended a bill that would have allowed abortions on women who had already begun labor.
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat and a pediatric neurologist, then suggested that Tran’s bill would also allow doctors to refuse to resuscitate an infant born alive after a failed abortion “if that’s what the mother and the family desire.”
“Delegate Tran and two other pro-abortion legislators are holding a public Town hall at South County High School in Lorton,” the Susan B. Anthony List wrote on Facebook. SBA List, Live Action, the Family Foundation Action, Concerned Women for America LAC, Students for Life of America, and Young Women for America are hosting a rally at 12:00 noon on Saturday, February 2 before the town hall.
“We need as many pro-life Virginians as possible to show up at 12:00 Noon for the pro-life press conference and rally before the Townhall,” Sean Maguire, Director of Grassroots for the Family Foundation of Virginia, wrote in an urgent email to supporters. “We encourage concerned citizens to then stay for the Townhall, and call upon Delegate Tran and her allies to abandon this extreme legislation.”
“With the short notice on this extreme abortion legislation that was just introduced here in Virginia, it’s crucial that we show up in great numbers,” Maguire emphasized in his email.
Tran’s bill failed in committee late Tuesday.
President Trump has denounced the Virginia Democrats for their abortion extremism. Tran and Northam have faced massive backlash for their comments; last night, Northam fired back by tweeting, “I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.”
He had defended infanticide just that morning.
On Saturday, participants are encouraged to dress warmly and arrive 30 minutes early, if possible.
Details are available here and listed below:

“On Saturday, participants are encouraged to dress warmly and arrive 30 minutes early, if possible.”
Should I bring a standard 3-9x40 or something with BDC ?
What does the wind look like ?
“I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.”
Yes, that’s how you live with yourself. The trick is to classify undesired children as other-than-human, so that killing them is, in your mind, just pest-control, not murder.
Can you imagine any mother, or soon-to-be mother, taking on this guy as the family pediatrician? I expect he’ll go back to practicing “medicine” when he’s out of politics. Yeah; I’d figure he’s always going to do his best to help my child. Kill? Save? Kill? Save? Decisions, decisions...
“I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.”
I guess even Dr. Mengele in his own mind, believed his research was benefiting mankind in the long run. The degraded physician turned pop Left politico is not grounded in any worthy principles or ethics. He is “shameful and disgusting”.
The media will predictably pull the race card on this rally because Miss Tran is of color. This woman is a POS. The Compost is running a story on how she would nurse her baby on the Virginia House floor. Hard for me to fathom any RAT loving children since they’re hellbent on killing so many of them in their mothers wombs!
“What does the wind look like ?”
Not too bad. 46 degrees and dry.
I’m in Maryland but I think this would be worth the trek to stand up to Governor Gosnell.
A good gesture, but it won’t matter. People in VA have permanently embraced the dark side. Their moral character seems missing in action.
Here she is stumbling all over herself as she is grilled by the chair. She is a horrible woman.

Follow the money!
At my workplace we rarely discuss politics and NEVER discuss the politics of abortion and the news in Virginia was the first subject mentioned. It was brought up by a 20-something female who was absolutely horrified. She just needed to talk about it and vent.
It becomes a lot easier for folks like Tran to do that if the child is black (as are about half of them). After all, she is of the party of slavery and the Ku Klux Klan.
Northam is evil and without conscience. He should be removed from office and imprisoned.
Wish I could be there to protest! Stuck here in The People’s Republik of Connecticut...
Perfect! That name needs to stick to him...

If we feed them they will come.
