Virginia Republicans defeat Democratic bill allowing abortions up until birth
Washington Times ^ | 02/02/2019 | By Valerie Richardson

Virginia Republicans on Tuesday killed legislation that would have loosened abortion restrictions after the bill’s sponsor admitted it would allow the procedure even after a mother went into labor.

A House subcommittee voted 5-3 to table H.R. 2491, called the Repeal Act, with all Republicans voting to table it and all Democrats voting against.

“Virginia House Democrats proposed legislation to allow abortions up to just seconds before that precious child takes their first breath,” the Virginia House Republicans said on Facebook. “Watch for yourself. Thankfully, our strong conservative majority was able to defeat this bill.”

In a viral video, Democratic Delegate Kathy Tran acknowledged Tuesday that her bill would permit abortions at 40 weeks, the end of the third trimester, if deemed necessary to protect her mental or physical health.

“Heartbreaking,” tweeted the Virginia House GOP. “This isn’t in New York, this isn’t in California, this happened just this week right here in Virginia.”

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin called it a “sad commentary on the culture of death that continues to creep insidiously into the laws of our country.”

During the subcommittee hearing, House Majority Leader Todd Gilbert asked Ms. Tran if it would be legal under her bill for a woman to receive an abortion after dilation begins.

“Mr. Chairman, you know, that would be a decision that the doctor — the physician — and the woman would make,” Ms. Tran said.

“I understand that. I’m asking if your bill allows that,” Mr. Gilbert said.

“My bill would allow that, yes,” Ms. Tran said.

Yes of course. A doctor like Mengele or Northam.

This is good news. NY state may have won a battle, but they will not win the war. This idiot Governor did us all a favor by letting the cat out of the bag and exposing the real, end-game agenda of abortion.

And why does media relentlessly shill for Dems? They won’t cover Northam’s defense of infanticide, but they’ll ask if he can moonwalk.... https://t.co/sMkMrBjMzY— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 2, 2019

They should still bring it to the House floor for a full vote - get all of the Democrats in the Virginia House on record.

My interpretation of this is that it was a vote to table, not a vote on the actual bill. So it was a safe one for the Dems to show unity on, since it didn’t do anything but stop the bill from going further. Had it gone to an actual vote on the bill itself I suspect many Dems would have voted against it, because they know this is way over the line, and that’s why all the important Dems called for Northam to resign. In fact I believe they leaked the “racist picture” for that specific reason.

Question:

Do Republicans hold the majority in Virginia state legislature?

I thought Virginia was a lost cause. Seems like Republicans still hold some power there.

Why do they keep on electing Democrat governors and senators?

Thank you for the great news.

Anyone who considers themselves a Democrat today is immoral, indecent scum.

I noticed that Governor Northam’s med school yearbook stated that he was focused on pediatrics!
