On Tuesday, nurse Jill Stanek described her experience in caring for a baby who survived an attempted abortion. Doctors in that case followed exactly the kind of infanticide practice Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) so infamously described in a radio interview this past January.
"When I heard Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a pediatric neurologist, describe during an interview the process by which doctors determine to shelve unwanted newborns to die, it hit painfully home to me," Stanek testified before Congress on Tuesday.
She quoted Northam: "If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if thats what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians & mother."
"Governor Northam was right. That is exactly what happens. I know because I cared for a dying baby who was on the other side of that decision," Stanek said.
She joined three other women to testify in support of H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Republicans in the House of Representatives have asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) no less than 80 times! to bring the bill to a vote, but she has stubbornly refused. Democrats claim the bill is unnecessary.
After Northam's comments, a spokeswoman accused conservatives of twisting them out of context. She insisted that "no woman seeks a third-trimester abortion except in the case of tragic or difficult circumstances, such as a nonviable pregnancy or in the event of severe fetal abnormalities, and the governors comments were limited to the actions physicians would take in the event that a woman in those circumstances went into labor."

This article has the nurse recount her story in the 12th paragraph. That seems like burying the lead in some way.
How any Christian can vote for a pro-abort Democrat is beyond me.
I’ve worked with Jill on several occasions. She is a gem. God bless her and the work she does.
Ergo, IMO, pro-abortionists and quite literally insane and need to be removed from the gene pool.
COME! Took her so long to say this???
