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.

A. Partial Birth of a Nation.
It’s horrible beyond belief. Anyone still considering themselves a Democrat is immoral, vile, indecent scum of the earth.
I don’t want to overstate this, but Muslims were criticized for not taking to the streets to protest 9/11, thus enabling radical Islam. Who is taking to the streets over infanticide?
Yep. While the NY law is evil, it got people talking about it. People who normally wouldn’t consider it a issue.
Not many. I used to pray at abortion clinics but now live where there are none or close by.
You make a good point.
That’s an excellent point. Evil doesn’t like to be exposed.
“Notham’s nickname at VMI”
My cousin was the Regimental Commander of the entire VMI Corps of Cadets and President of the honor court, graduating in 1973, when Northam would have been a Junior.
VMI isn’t/wasn’t a big place, I’m pretty sure everyone was pretty tight, especially in a student leadership position.
I haven’t talked to my cousin in years, and he is retired, but I will be reaching out to see if I can get some insight on the C-man Guv Ralphie.
Scoop her brain out. Grind up her heart.
I did not. Thanks for alerting me.
This is exceptionally good news, with an equally-exceptional negative lining.
The negative aspect is that such a hideous bill was even up for consideration in the once-conservative state of Virgina.
The Tran “woman” needs to be hounded out of office. I wish I lived closer, I’d be at every event to harass her.
America should be destroyed. We have become worse than Sodom.
Viet Cong Socialist Democrat in the wire ? ......
Good news! Thank you!
Democrats are evil scum.

It bears repeating.
“Democrats are evil scum.”
It’s worth repeating
