President Donald Trump has slammed Democrats’ extreme abortion stance.
Speaking about a Virginia bill which would have allowed abortion up until birth, President Trump called it “terrible” and said that it would "lift up the whole pro-life movement like maybe it’s never been lifted up before."
In another tweet the President wrote that: “Democrats are becoming the Party of late term abortion, high taxes, Open Borders and Crime!”
Virginia state politician Kathy Tran, who pushed the legislation, admitted during a committee hearing that her bill would allow a woman who is in labor to abort her baby.
Gilbert: So 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 still request an abortion if she was so certified? She’s dilating?
Tran: Mr. Chairman, you know, that would be a decision that the doctor, the physician, and the woman would make.
Gilbert: I understand that. I’m asking if your bill allows that.
Tran: My bill would allow that, yes.
The controversy didn’t end there. Later, in a radio interview, Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam provoked outrage after he advocated for infanticide in a radio interview. As Fox News reported:
Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam … [told] WTOP radio that third-trimester abortions are done with "the consent of obviously the mother, with consent of the physician, multiple physicians by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities or there may be a fetus that’s not viable."
Northam then gave an example in which "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."
Senator. Ben Sasse, a republican from Nebraska, condemned Governor Northam’s remarks:
In just a few years, pro-abortion zealots went from 'safe, legal, and rare' to 'keep the newborns comfortable while the doctor debates infanticide,'
I don't care what party you’re from — if you can’t say that it’s wrong to leave babies to die after birth, get the hell out of public office.
