Gov. Ralph Northam: Aborted ‘Infant' Saved if ‘Mother and Family Desired' in not, EXECUTED
[Breitbart] Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said Wednesday that a bill introduced in the House of Delegates that would allow "abortion" even during childbirth itself would permit an "infant" to be "delivered" and "resuscitated, if that’s what the mother and the family desired," until the physicians and mother discuss what to do.

Northam, a Democrat, was elected governor of Virginia in 2018. He is a pediatric neurologist.

In an interview with WTOP-FM on Wednesday, he said the firestorm created by a bill introduced in the Virginia House of Delegates that would allow "abortions" even while the mother is dilating "was really blown out of proportion."

"When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of obviously the mother, with the consent of the physician‐more than one physician, by the way‐and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities," Northam said. "There may be a fetus that’s non-viable."

Northam’s response, however, is inconsistent with the actual language of the legislation. HB 2491 specifically eliminates the requirement of more than one physician’s "consent":

I believe Dr. Jane pretty much nailed it.

#3 Lots of entertainment biz and politician money tied up in VA horse country real estate. I wonder if the plan is to create somewhere for those landowners to send daughters and girlfriends to sort out "personal problems..."

#4 Ghoulish and barbaric. This man is a disgrace to the medical profession and the people of Virginia should be against what he showed himself to believe.
