Lauretta wrote about this trip-up this morning. We all saw New York’s abortion bill that legalized this heinous procedure through nine months is reared its ugly head here in Virginia. It was briefly considered in the House of Delegates, which rejected the legislation, but Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam decided to offer his views about it:
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) made some startling remarks defending allowing an infant born alive to die on WTOP Wednesday when asked about the debate over Virginia House of Delegates member Kathy Tran’s (D-Fairfax) bill that would allow an abortion even after the woman goes into labor.
[…]
“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,” he said. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
Excuse me? That’s infanticide. It’s murder. Period. Yes, the governor’s office is backtracking and clarifying, but the damage is done. Then again, there will always be the news media to offer gov. baby killer some much need political cover, while also saying that conservatives have pounced on him for his half-assed assessment. Remember this man is a medical doctor. He knows better. You can’t spin this. You can’t polish a turd. Also, this angers only conservatives, Washington Post. What crack are you smoking? I’m pretty sure baby killing would appall everyone, and the governor offered an explicit example of it. Also, late-term abortions are seldom done for medical reasons, i.e. the life of the mother or fetal abnormalities. So, can we cut the crap on that point too, Media Matters, who also rushed to the governor’s defense?

Statement from Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) spokesman Ofirah Yheskel on his abortion remarks:

This is simply false. From the (pro-choice) Guttmacher Institute: “data suggests that most women seeking later terminations are not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.” https://t.co/HMFxohm8Cl https://t.co/MhYrspor7g— my tweet portal is whack (@HashtagGriswold) January 30, 2019
Conservatives also “pounced” on LeBron James for a social media post that reportedly contained rap lyrics that were anti-Semitic. James apologized for the post. Still, conservatives pouncing over anti-Semitism and politicians promoting baby killing. Gee—how awful, right? How dare they...how friggin' dare they get upset over that?
What an incredibly evil group of people.
It doesn’t end with abortion.
The little commies managed to kill millions of full grown adults in the 20th century.
And they’ll do it again in a heartbeat.
Governator as Nazi!
I despise them
There was a lot of Dem support for the BAIPA.
The ‘Rats forget that at their political peril.
What? A few dead babies never hurt anyone./s
OJ faces conservative backlash for murdering wife...
Perhaps the Governor could use some of this.
Next they will come for seniors.
Polish it? Why polish the guv’s food?
Of course. And the mentally defective. It’s the only compassionate thing to do.
My state was once very much against murdering babies... sorry, America.. THIS Virginia resident is highly embarrassed at what a travesty this state has become.
Of course; we’ve been down the road before — and it ends in the gas chambers.
Do these idiots think that the judgment of God is null and void?
If they do not repent, they will find His judgment is wide awake and their damnation slumbers not.
The governor appears to be cold and calculating in giving his explanation.
Nice bed=side manner, Mr. Northam.
They are right and every Dem loves abortion.
Apparently WaPo is using the word conservative as a euphemism for human being.
Possibly.
But the outcome will be different.
They are pro-life Democrats, like Sen. Bob Casey.
Conservatives need to go nuts about this crap. I’m thinking car burning, window breaking, block of destruction. That happen two or more times, and these nuts in control of the press would tip toe around. It’s time.
Interesting that the “Do not enter” sign is parallel to him.
“Do not enter” like a warning sign about abortion and the womb.
