CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE VIDEO WHERE VIRGINIA GOV NORTHAM MAKES HIS SHOCKING COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF INFANTICIDE.
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam not only has
defended a
new bill in the state legislature that would legalize abortions up to birth –
even if the mother is dilated — he defended infanticide during a radio show
today.
Northam apparently thinks it’s okay to kill a
baby once the infant is fully delivered.
“If a mother is in labor…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 mother,” he said.
This shocking video follows another one shows
a Democrat legislator in Virginia introducing her bill to allow abortions up to
birth. During an exchange with another legislator, Virginia
House of Delegates member Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax) admits the bill does indeed
allow abortions up until the last second before a baby is born.
During his campaign for governor, Northam
raised nearly $11 million for his campaign, including huge
contributions from the abortion industry. The abortion business Planned Parenthood
said it planned to spend
$3 million to back Northam and it now is apparently getting it’s
kickback.
Northam’s 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.
“Northam’s position is so extreme he supports
abortion on demand – that’s 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.

Northam on Abortion Bill: Infant Could Be
Delivered and Then ‘Physicians and the Mother’ Could Decide If It Lives
BY Andrew Kugle | Free Beacon
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) commented Wednesday about
a controversial 40-week abortion bill and in so doing said the law allows an
abortion to take place after the infant's birth.
"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly
what would happen. 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," Northam said, alluding to the physician and mother discussing
whether the born infant should live or die.
A Democratic lawmaker in the Virginia House of
Delegates proposed a bill Tuesday that would allow abortions through
the end of the third trimester of pregnancy. The video of Delegate Kathy
Tran presenting her bill led to an exchange where she admitted that her bill
would allow for a mother to abort her child minutes before giving birth.
"How late in the third trimester could a physician
perform an abortion if he indicated that it would impair the mental health of
the woman?" Majority Leader Todd Gilbert (R.) asked.
"Or physical health," Tran said.
"Okay," Gilbert replied. "I'm talking
about the mental health."
"I mean, through the third trimester," Tran
said. "The third trimester goes up to 40 weeks."
"Okay, but to the end of the third trimester?"
Gilbert asked.
"Yup, I don't think we have a limit in the
bill," Tran said.
"Where it's obvious that a woman is about to give
birth, she has physical signs that she's about to give birth, would that still
be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so
certified?" Gilbert asked. "She's dilating."
Tran responded that is a decision between the woman and
her doctor would have to make. Gilbert asked if her bill would allow an
abortion right before the infant was born.
"My bill would allow that, yes," Tran said.
NBC4 reporter Julie Carey asked Northam about the
measure.
"Do you support her measure and explain her
answer?" Carey asked.
"I wasn't there, Julie. And I certainly can't speak
for delegate Tran. But I would tell you one, the first think I would say, this
is why decisions such as this should be made by providers, physicians, and the
mothers and fathers that are involved," Northam said. "When we talk
about third trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of obviously
the mother, with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician by the
way. And it is done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may
be a fetus that is non-viable."
Northam continued by saying government shouldn't be
involved in these types of decisions and that legislators, especially male
legislators, shouldn't be telling women what to do.
"I think this was really blown out of proportion.
But again we want the government not to be involved in these types of
decisions. We want the decision to be made by the mothers and their providers.
And this is why Julie, that legislators, most of whom are men by the way, shouldn't
be telling a woman what she should or shouldn't be doing with her body,"
Northam said.
Carey asked if the law should still require women to have
multiple physicians approve an abortion.
"Well, I think it is always good to get a second
opinion and for at least two providers to be involved in that decision,"
Northam said. "These decisions shouldn't be taken lightly.
