    Back in February Virginia passed legislation that could give nearly 270,000 undocumented immigrants living in Virginia the opportunity to drive passed each chamber of the General Assembly. Bills passed in the House with a 57-42 vote and in the Senate with a 22-18 vote. The so-called ‘Licenses for All’ bills allow immigrants to get a driver privilege card (essentially a temporary license) regardless of their legal status. Previously, Virginia law required anyone applying for a driver’s license to provide proof of a “legal presence” to show you are legally authorized to be in the country. Yesterday it was officially signed...

    Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris campaigned Sunday in northern Virginia for a state lawmaker whose bill would have allowed unborn babies to be aborted up to the moment of birth. Virginia Del. Kathy Tran, a Fairfax Democrat, is up for re-election in November. Her abortion legislation became the subject of national outrage in January when she admitted on camera that it would allow abortions up to the point of labor, even if there are no physical health problems with the mother or baby. The bill did not pass. On Sunday, Harris, who also supports abortion on demand, described Tran as...

    Presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) will campaign for the co-sponsor of Virginia's controversial abortion bill this weekend. The Harris campaign announced on Thursday that the senator will attend events in northern Virginia. Harris will be on hand to launch voter canvassing operations for state delegate Kathy Tran, who co-sponsored and presented a radical abortion bill that would have permitted unrestricted abortion through the third trimester of pregnancy. Harris's national press secretary Ian Sams tweeted the news and mentioned Tran's Twitter account alongside Dan Helmer's, who is running in Virginia's 40th district.

    This November 5, Virginia voters across the state have the opportunity to let Delegate Kathy Tran and Governor Ralph Northam know that they reject their abortion extremism, as exemplified by her disgusting comments in January in favor of abortion up until the moment of birth, and Northam seemingly endorsing infanticide, by saying a “discussion would ensue” about what to do with a baby born with fetal abnormalities. Their comments embarrassed the state of Virginia and should be taken heavily into consideration when voters go to the polls. Although Northam is not on the ballot this Fall, and Tran’s race is...

    A far-right conservative website was reportedly tipped off about the racist photo on Gov. Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page by one of his former classmates. A source from Big League Politics told the Washington Post the individual reached out because of "anger" over Northam's recent comments about a bill that would loosen restrictions on abortions. “The revelations about Ralph Northam’s racist past were absolutely driven by his medical school classmate’s anger over his recent very public support for infanticide,” the unnamed source said. Northam, a former pediatric neurologist, has faced a barrage of criticism for an interview he did...

    LORTON, VIRGINIA (February 2, 2019) — On very short notice, an estimated 750 to 1,000 Pro-Life citizens turned out to protest the legislative “town hall” scheduled by Virginia State Delegate Kathy Tran (D-VA-42). A large Catholic turn-out was joined by Northern Virginia Republicans determined to win back Tran’s seat later this year. Tran is the freshman Delegate who sponsored a bill in the Virginia General Assembly to allow the killing of an unborn baby up to the moment of birth. Tran’s halting, defensive explanation of the bill she sponsored before the Virginia state House of Delegates committee went viral and...

    In what appears to be a classic case of terminal tone deafness, the Democratic Virginia assemblywoman who is proposing an up-to-birth abortion bill actually praised her parents on Twitter for saving her from death in communist Vietnam as a baby. “In 1979, my parents & I fled Vietnam as boat refugees,” Del. Kathy Tran said in the Tweet that she originally made on Dec. 13, 2018. “My dad was a dentist in the South Vietnamese Army & went to reeducation prison,” she said. “Upon his release, my parents took me, not yet seven months old, onto the open sea.

    According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Virginia delegate Dawn Adams (D-Richmond) says she would not have co-sponsored Del. Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax)'s abortion bill, known as H.B. 2491, if she had known what was in it. From RTD: "I made a mistake, and all I know to do is to admit it, tell the truth, and let the chips fall where they may[."] Adams ... said she believes women have "full authority to decide what is best for themselves and their bodies."  But she said she mistakenly believed Tran's bill would only repeal "onerous" abortion restrictions Republicans imposed in 2012.

    In the wake of an eruption of backlash toward Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who recently advocated for late term and post-birth abortion, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi refused to comment on Northam’s controversial sentiments. Gov. Northam, previously a physician, endorsed a bill in the Virginia Legislature introduced by Del. Kathy Tran, that would effectively allow late-term abortions for any reason, even once the mother is in labor.Despite retroactive attempts at clarification from both Gov. Northam and Del. Tran, both lawmakers are on video saying exactly what the pro-life coalition is criticizing them for: Heartbreaking... This isn't in New York,...

    Legislate in haste, repent at leisure. Or was something worse afoot in Virginia than just run-of-the-mill lawmaker sloth? One co-sponsor of the now-failed bill that would have allowed already-born infants to die of neglect now says she simply “did not exercise due diligence” before supporting the bill. Dawn Adams, the Democrat from Richmond, wrote in a newsletter to constituents that “I made a mistake”: Del.

    The Virginia House of Delegates proposed a bill legalizing abortion through all nine months. Delegate Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax) confirmed that abortion would be available to the mother even while in natural labor, as long as it was for the reason of “mental health.” The definition of “mental health” is obscure in the bill.So, that’s that, pro-choicers. No more pretending this is about healthcare. No more pretending this is about “reproductive rights.” No more pretending this is about removing a non-human “clump of cells.”  No more “safe, legal and rare” business. No more pretending this is about compassion for the mother...

    Virginia House of Delegates member Kathy Tran has spoken out in an attempt to explain the unpopular and radical pro-abortion bill she presented to her colleagues earlier this week. The legislation, she admitted before Subcommittee Chair Todd Gilbert, would allow women to have abortions up until the stage of labor - through all 40 weeks. "I introduced a bill to repeal the medically unnecessary and duly burdensome that Virginia women face when they’re accessing this health care service in consultation with their doctor," Tran said in defense of The Repeal Act. “I was really surprised by the line of questioning...

    The Democrats are pushing for straight-up infanticide, and they're emboldened enough to not even bothering hiding it any longer. When asked about the controversial late term abortion bill presented in Virginia's House of Delegates this week, Governor Ralph Northam said a fully developed child born in the third trimester would be kept alive, but the physician and mother would get to discuss and decide whether to take its life or not. "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...

When asked if he supported the bill, Gov. Northam argued that decisions by physicians can be made to allow an infant to die even after birth. “If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,” he said. “The infant would be delivered.
