Women would have legal\naccess to abortion up until the point of birth. This raised many questions\namong pro-life advocates and, reasonably so, as abortion gets more and more\ncomplicated as birth approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Northam was asked what he would do in the event that the\nbaby would be accidentally delivered during an abortion. Northam responded, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would\nhappen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable.\nThe infant would be resuscitated if that&#8217;s what the mother and the family\ndesired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the\nmother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Northam was not fully clear, it is safe to say this so\ncalled \u201cdiscussion\u201d that would ensue would revolve around whether the baby would\nbe kept alive or murdered. The idea that a beautiful, healthy, breathing child\nwould be murdered outside the womb is abhorrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One would think such a story would draw a great deal of news media attention, however, the day after he made this statement, a photo of the governor in blackface surfaced. All media attention turned to this issue and his other comments were pushed to the back burner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American people need to comprehend the severity of Gov. Northam\u2019s comments. Yes, the photo is disgusting and he must face consequences for his actions. Both issues are inexcusable, this is not an either or scenario. A representative of our government is calling for newborn babies to be murdered. Wake up America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By LIAM FABRE The Democratic Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, openly embraced infanticide and dressed in blackface thirty five years ago.
