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 or child. This is, and always has been, about ensuring a woman has the ability to walk away from parenthood the same way a man can. We’ve always known it; we’ve just been waiting for you guys to out yourselves. Thanks so much for coming through.
As I’ve stated in a previous piece, abortion is about feminists’ obsession with equality through homogeny. With that being the motive, why stop at the first or second trimester? Heck, why stop at birth?
In fact, Virginia governor Ralph Northam explained clearly that this abortion bill would indeed allow doctors to kill the child after birth. In a radio interview, Gov. Northam said
“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 the mother.”
So, the baby is out of the womb, cord is cut, and she’s lying on the table next to the delivery bed. That child, according to Governor Northam, could be killed presumably the same way a full-term baby is killed in a partial-birth abortion: an incision is made in the back of her skull and her brain is sucked out through a vacuum until her head collapses. Only a few moments earlier she was crying. Only seconds before she was instinctively longing to be held and fed. Now, she’s nothing more than an object to be obliterated, a hindrance to be eliminated.
Northam specified in the interview that this would typically be in cases where the baby is deformed or isn’t viable. This probably isn’t true, but, even if it were, we’re talking nothing short of eugenics. We’re talking nothing less than infanticide. Yet the real story, according to outlets like The Washington Post and CBS, is the “conservative backlash.” Not that we’re condoning the brutal murder of babies under the guise of sympathy. Not that we’re seeing human selfishness manifest itself in the ugliest way possible. Not that we’re experiencing a fundamental shift in the American conscience. No—the real headline is that we right-wingers are freaking out.
If only everyone were panicking half as much as we “out-there” conservative are. Abortion, and, in this case, late-term abortion and infanticide, is the ultimate denigration of our nation’s collective soul. The left talks a big game when it comes to showing empathy for the marginalized and weak, yet few of them shed a single tear for the slaughter of the unborn, the most vulnerable and marginalized among us.
Pro-lifers have long been told we’re making a mountain out of a molehill. If we don’t want an abortion, we just shouldn’t have one, they say. No, this isn’t infanticide. No, this isn’t eugenics. It’s a woman’s body. Her choice. It’s about healthcare. It’s about freedom. It’s not even a person in there. It’s about compassion for unfit mothers and unwanted children, they say.
But now the facade is gone, the charade is over. It’s probably a bit of a relief for pro-choicers to simply admit they’re okay with murdering a defenseless human being. They can finally just admit “their truth.”
Thank you, New York and Virginia, for proving us right yet again: we’re not the extremists. You are.
Abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy has been the de facto law of the land since 1973, because of the Doe vs. Bolton decision. States have the power to regulate and limit it to some extent, subject to the various SCOTUS edicts.
“Now, step aside please.”
Like hell I will.
This seems driven to drive the care of the baby in the right direction, but it is obvious that, since most things in life have a duality to them (A hammer can be used to build a beautiful house, but can also be used to murder someone) it is not outside the realm of possibility that this could be tied to various tests that would result in the following conversation:
MOTHER: Uh, what? Are you recommending we kill the child? How can my baby be aborted if it has already been born, and I am holding it in my arms?
DOCTOR: Umm, well, technically, by law, it is still a fetus and not a baby or child until the birth certificate is issued...you should-
MOTHER: No! No! I will not agree to murdering my baby!
DOCTOR: Mrs. Smith, you need to think carefully about this. The state will refuse to issue a birth certificate with that positive genetic test, and there are a host of benefits and programs it will not be eligible for if it has no birth certificate. We are very considerate and gentle, and we let you stay with it while we do the post-birth abortion, it...
MOTHER: No! I won't do it!
DOCTOR: Honestly, I know you are thinking you can get a fake birth certificate on the black market, but it won't work. It will be stigmatized for life and, I regret to inform you, the state can compel you in this. You will get no medical care for the PBF, and will bear the burden yourself. Look, I know this is hard, but if you gave birth just six months from now, the new laws would have kicked in that allow us to simply not give you your child, and we would not even be having this conversation. I...
MOTHER: You're monsters, all of you! Monsters! Who would do such a thing?
I should clarify, when I said “This seems driven to drive the care of the baby in the right direction” I meant The March of Dimes list, not the legislation.
Conservatives will never win by conceding to the left’s language lies.
Actually listening to the Va Governor and Representative Tran easily promote this state sanctioned murder is horrific. Only leftists such as the Nazis,Soviets,Chicoms,Norks,Khmer Rouge,USA Democrats etc can talk of murdering citizens with such an even toned tenor of “common good”. A society that kills its unborn will eventually die itself. I know it would be folly, but why doesn’t the DOJ and lawyers tie this BS up like the left does to us? I guess they are to busy trying to destroy Trump. It’s hard to recognize much of America anymore.
ALL ABOUT how much money PP gives to politicians - pure and simple. They’ll write anything, pass anything, sign anything as long as their coffers remain full allowing them to go on and do their nasty business to the rest of the country..
There better be a lot of publicity about PP donations to the various demon-rat presidential (and other) campaigns for 2019 and 2020 and maybe this nonsense will come to a screeching halt! The country needs a good earthquake to shake up the brain dead so they can see what was going on while they’ve slumbered through the last administration!
Millions died at the hands of the Nazis during WWII. Millions died defeating the Nazis and Dr. Mendel. Apparently all for nought. If we allow this evil to continue, we will have to defeat it again here in the USA.
The problem is we have to use milinials. We are doomed.
Or just mandatory death for any Conservative.
If they could, they’d send in secret police in the middle of the night to round us up for the show trials, then, execution or gulag.
Remember they also want to do away with the 2nd Amendment.
Keep your powder dry!
Infanticide was always the next item on the agenda of the Death Cult (aka Democratic Party.) Is anyone really surprised?
Agree. They have a strategy to keep the abortion issue on the front burner, because this has worked for them in the past.
Well, then, they first have to stop importing low IQ mestizos from El Salvador, Equador, and Guatemala.
Yes, but fortunately their moronic tactics will blow up in their faces! I see the idiotic mind of Hillary behind some of this.
Good point!

My 3rd grandson was diagnosed in utero with possible microencephalopathy. The doctor recommended abortion.
Fortunately, my daughter is a nurse and knew that prenatal ultrasounds are not 100% reliable. She went and got a second opinion. The second doctor ordered another ultrasound, and discovered that his head on the first one was partially obscured behind my daughter’s pelvis. He was fine.
He’ll be 2 years old this year and is doing great.
Great story.
How quick they are to kill.
The dialogue is chilling.
Really? And that's in the law? I didn't think so. There's no point in temporizing, this is infanticide.
You will get no (FREE) medical care for the PBF, and will bear the burden yourself...
This implies that the State thinks that all Mothers will never bear the burden of raising their children without welfare. That there are no fathers or other family willing to help their own.
Interesting.
