Once again, Virginia voters elected a radical pro-abortion governor in Democrat Ralph Northam.
Northam beat pro-life Republican Ed Gillespie Tuesday in a closely watched race, the AP reports. NBC reports Northam won with 54 percent of the vote, while Gillespie received 45 percent.
The current lieutenant governor, Northam raised nearly $11 million for his campaign, including huge contributions from the abortion industry. Earlier this year, the abortion business Planned Parenthood said it planned to spend $3 million to back Northam.
Northams position on abortion is extreme and out of touch with most voters, according to the National Right to Life Committee which explains why Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other pro-abortion groups wanted him in the position.
Northams position is so extreme he supports abortion on demand thats abortion for any reason anytime during the pregnancy and he favors using your tax dollars to pay for abortion, said Karen Cross, political director for NRLC, previously.
Virginia Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Jennifer Allen previously called Northam a champion for supporting abortion on demand.

Health care was the top concern among Virginia voters, with 37 percent citing it as the most important issue to their vote, according to the NBC News exit poll.
That seemed to help Northam: A majority of people who voted for him 57 percent said that health care was their No. 1 concern, while Gillespies voters turned out for a variety of reasons, including immigration and taxes.
Northam will take over for current Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who also has been a close ally of the abortion industry.
McAuliffe refused to protect unborn babies and moms from abortion and sided with the abortion industry instead. McAuliffe opposed abortion regulations of any kind, and supported lowering health and safety standards for abortion clinics, thereby putting womens health at risk. He also vetoed a bill to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business and promised to veto a bill banning late-term abortions.
Planned Parenthood spent huge amounts on Northam so that it could continue to see that type of support from the Virginia governors office.
Planned Parenthood receives close to half a billion taxpayer dollars annually to support its deadly work. It is the largest abortion business in the United States, killing more than 320,000 unborn babies every year.
Either the Pro-Lifers are in denial and/or NoVa voters don't care.
That’s why Democrats fight for open borders, to bolster their future voter base. They kill their children in the womb.
A lot of people are discounting how much money the obama administration pumped into the DC area including Virginia.
We’re $10+ trillion in debt after 8 years of obama. The money didn’t go to supporting our military, rebuilding our infrastructure, etc. Most of it went to making those inside the beltway wealthy. One state that greatly prospered during the obama years was VA. The democrats basically bought VA off.
Many very sick people in Virginia.
Dead Babies are apparently a political WINNER in the Old Dominion.
The reason is made obvious with a Google search on "virginia mcauliffe voter fraud" It returns 217,000 results which can be summarized in the words of the 1st article [Link]:

I know there are a number of threads on this topic, I was at the gym and could have sworn the TVs showed Gillespie up in the late afternoon, 5-ish pm CST. Disappointing to see this result.
IMHO you can’t read too much into the Virginia results.
Washington DC has polluted almost all of Northern Virgina and the liberals there overpower the rest of the state where some sanity still prevails.
The NOVA liberals are going to vote liberal no matter what the issue, no matter who the candidate may be.
Gillespie went down early.
Thank you. It must have been the other way around, what I saw. I wasn’t watching closely, just walking by.

If you are keeping the borders open allowing muslims, communists, and third world gangsters into your country you are not “pro-life” and only a liar or an idiot would call you that.
Gillespie mignt be “anti-abortion” but by no stretch of the imagination is he “pro-life” so I am glad he is gone.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
What we learned from last nights’ election: Democrats won in a state that is a Democrat state.
Being pro-abortion is now an election-winner in Virginia. NOVA is flooded with DC residents attracted to the lower cost of living, yet they don’t make the connection between their voting patters and why they left their blue state cesspit in the first place.
There’s now no wacko leftist hobby horse issue too extreme for them to run on now. McAuliffe literally got elected by blanketing the airwaves with pro-abortion ads designed to get millennial NOVA socialites out to vote for him and...it worked.
It sucks watching your state go under like this, but I’m glad to have a second home in WV, which is trending the right way. Trump and the NRSC shouldn’t spend another dime here. The state is fools gold the way that Pennsylvania used to be, but with every passing year, it’s going to be harder than the previous year to win in.
Was abortion really an issue in this campaign? From what I understand the candidate for Lt Governor was the one who raised it along with other conservative issues trans, toilets, etc. What was her count ?
Yes why vote Democrat lite when you can have the real thing? That’s what these pundits never seem to understand.
How do we even know this is real? The Fake News media says it was a huge victory for the Dems, even downballot, and supposedly even Repub districts elected freaks and minorities to Repub seats - and we just accept the Fake News media reports as gospel?
Who says they arent making this up?
It is an obvious crime against natural law that politicians can vote to give tax dollars to an entity that turns around and gives that money to the politicians.
Even if this was money given to an organization that does nothing but good things, it is still criminal when politicians steal tax dollars to run their political campaigns.
This is an offense as great as any that Great Britain committed against the American colonists that caused the Revolution.
There is no place for abortionists or abortion-promoting politicians in a civil society. These are murderers for hire, plain and simple.
The left’s war on babies must be resisted and defeated.
