Nebraska GOP Sen. Ben Sasse, in an interview Thursday with Fox News, ramped up his criticism of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam over comments on a controversial late-term abortion bill -- saying the governor effectively discussed "infanticide" and should resign if he won't back down.
Sasse, a pro-life Republican, said Northam’s comments were “morally repugnant” and argued the Democratic governor should “get the hell out of office” if he doesn’t support protecting the life of a child who survived an abortion.
“The comments the governor of Virginia made were about fourth-term abortions,” Sasse said on Fox News’ “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino.” “That’s not abortion, that’s infanticide.”
Northam’s comments were made during an appearance on a local radio station to discuss The Repeal Act, which seeks to repeal restrictions on third-trimester abortions.
Virginia Democratic Del. Kathy Tran, a sponsor, sparked outrage from conservatives when she was asked at a hearing if a woman about to give birth and dilating could still request an abortion. The bill was tabled in committee this week.
“My bill would allow that, yes,” she said. Existing state law does not put an absolute time limit on abortions and Tran's legislation does not alter that, but it does loosen restrictions on the need to get additional certification from doctors.
Northam, a former pediatric neurologist, had been asked about Tran's comments and said he couldn’t speak for her, but said 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.”

Wow. Sasse the asse has found someone he hates more than Donald Trump.
He’s trashing a Dem. Excellent!
At least he’s right this time. :^)
Kathy Tran's spin is so typical of the oral gymnastics the pro-abortion crowd resort to.
I'm hoping a federal judge strikes NY law down like they do to pro-life state laws.
Well the Rats have moved the line. So now the line is “okay
once the baby is actually out if the body you can’t kill it”..yet. The motion has been tabled not rejected. So now it’s okay shove scissors into the baby skull and suck it’s brains out as long as you make sure the head and only the head is still in the mother. Evil manifest evil.
You’re absolutely right...They’re sickening, they have no clue that the baby is a human being.
One of the very few times I have agreed with B S.
Northam got 2 million from planned parenthood. Looks like he is running a baby parts racket. Organs are worth a lot of money for “research” organ transplants, Satanic rituals etc.
To think that they care about “women’s health” or choice is bogus. The ethical debate is of no consequence. As boring as it seems, it’s all about the money.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
And PP gets 500 million/yr from Fed.gov

So fed.gov is “investing” in pro-abort state politicians via “laundering” the money through PP
Dr. Mengele lives!
“They’re sickening, they have no clue that the baby is a human being.”
Not exactly. They want you to think that there is a debate over when human life begins and that a woman has a right to choose. These people know full well that they are killing a human being. People like Northum are involved in making money on baby parts. The real sickos are motivated by Satan. These are the modern day Draculas.
The Governor and Tran woman should both be arrested for accessory to murder.
well, VA Gov cannot be reelected.
For the first time in my life, I live in a district with a Democrat as my congressman. Joe Cunningham, supposedly a blue dog Democrat......I called his Charleston office today, spoke with a pretty nice gal. So I said, “I have looked on his website and I don’t see anything regarding his stance on the current trend in this country to support INFANTICIDE. I see on his twitter account a lovely family picture of his wife and baby son (about eight months old). I would like to know what his position is, as he claims he is a blue dog. If so, when will he come out against this horrific practice? “
She claimed she did not know what his position would be, but she has worked for “both parties” and understands. She wanted to know what I wanted to have him do. I said I would like Cunningham to cross aisles and speak out against this vicious assault against life. She said they would be in touch.
I encourage everyone, especially those who have DEM reps to call and make them take a position on this, this is NOT a fence riding issue.
“Sasse says Virginia Gov. Northam should ‘get the hell out of office’ “
So should Sasse.
As far as I am concerned, the man should remove himself from the planet.
“And PP gets 500 million/yr from Fed.gov”
The GOP took control of the House in the 2010 election and the Senate in the 2014 election. All appropriations must originate in the House, as Nancy Pelosi is demonstrating. From 2010 to 2018, John Boehner and Paul Ryan could have excluded Planned Parenthood funding from appropriations bills. They did not. The GOP is just as guilty as the Democrats for supporting infanticide. When it came down to spending the money, both parties said — YES!
