VA Gov. Stands By Abortion After Birth Comments
2019-02-03
[MRCTV.ORG] Governor Ralph Coonman Northam
Governor of Virginia, another Dem Great White Hope. He won election by calling his Publican opponent Ed Gillespiea racist, but then, don't they all?...
says he doesn’t have any regrets about the controversial statements he made on abortion Wednesday.
I support post-natal abortion to age 23!
"Do you regret what you said yesterday or the way you said it?" a news hound asked Northam in regards to comments he previously made on a radio station.
"Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
Yowza."

"No I don't," Northam replied at a presser Thursday. "I appreciate the question. I'm a physician. I'm also the governor. But when I'm asked questions a lot of times it is put in the context of a being a physician, again realizing you know, how we approach, how we manage patients, how we offer advice and counsel. So no, I don't have any regrets."
For what is man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Earlier in the conference, Northam positioned the topic as one of "reproductive health."
"You cain't tell a wo-man whut to do wif da body, Mister Bones!"
"Virginia Democrats are on the side of ensuring women have access to the healthcare they need. There is a fundamental difference between us and the Republicans, in what we believe on a woman's right to choose. We believe politicians, most of whom are men, should not be making decisions about women's choices for their reproductive health."
"But whut if de baby be a girl, Mister Tambo?"
Speaking on WTOP’s "Ask The Governor" Wednesday, Northam defended his support of a bill proposed in the Virginia Assembly that would legalize elective abortions on demand through the ninth month of pregnancy all the way up until the moment of birth.
My preference is for 23 years after that. You never know how them little boogers is gonna turn out. They start turnin' bad, just take a coat hanger to them.
When asked to respond to public outrage over the proposal, Northam seemed to suggest that not only can babies be terminated up until the moment they’re born, but that full-term, born-alive infants can be left to die without medical care if the mother wishes.
Why not? Roman fathers could kill their children up until the age of adultery. Rather than aborting them, they set them out along public highways to die of exposure or to be raised in slavery.

PS He's on the terriblevision right now denying everything.He did, however, confess to dressing up like Michael Jackson and blackening his face with shoe polish for a dance contest.

#2  Sounds as if he hopes that being really, really in favor of killing babies will trump his being such a racist. Time will tell.
