Virginia's Democrat Governor Accused of Supporting 'Infanticide', Would Let Babies Die Right After They're Born

Virginia's Democrat Governor Accused of Supporting 'Infanticide', Would Let Babies Die Right After They're Born Read Transcript


- And it's done in cases where there may

be severe deformities.

- [Jenna] This is thecontroversial interview

now seen and heard by millions.

- 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 that's what the motherand the family desired.

And then a discussion would ensue

between the physicians and the mothers.

- [Jenna] VirginiaGovernor, Ralph Northam,

explaining why hesupports a Democratic bill

that would have allowed abortion up until

the moment of birth.

Saying these types of abortions would

be for deformed or non-viable fetuses.

The bill was ultimately stopped

in the Republican-controlled legislature

after this exchange between lawmakers.

- [Mr. Chairman] Whereit's obvious that a woman

is about to give birth,she has physical signs

that she is about to give a birth,

would that still be a point at which she

could request an abortion

if she was so certified?

She's dilating.

- Mr. Chairman, that would be a decision

that the doctor, thephysician and the woman

would make at that point.

- [Mr. Chairman] I understand.

I'm asking if your bill allows that?

- My bill would allow that, yes.

- So unfortunately, we are seeing so many

more states push for this barbaric

and extreme legislation,really in response

to the new Supreme CourtConservative majority.

- [Jenna] Jenna Ellis, with the Dobson

Family Institute, saysthis is nothing new.

Right now, seven other states have already

passed similar laws.

- That's the one kind of,

I think, encouragement here.

Is that because we're seeing the states

that are progressive left respond to this,

they are anticipating what we at the

James Dobson Family Institute are,

which is that the newConservative majority

is likely to overturn Roe versus Wade

and its progeny withinthe next year or two,

and we're hopeful for that.

- [Jenna] Christianleaders, Conservatives,

and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill

were quick to condemn the measure.

Senator Benn Sasse was, perhaps,

the most outspoken, releasing a statement,

calling the bill, "Morally repugnant,"

adding, "I don't carewhat party you're from.

"If you can't say that it's wrong

"to leave babies to die after birth,

"get the blank out of public office."

- These decisionsshouldn't be taken lightly.

- [Jenna] Northam, who's is pediatric

neurologist, calls the media attention,

"Blown out of proportion."

But given the outrage among Conservatives

and pro-lifers, not only in Virginia

but across the country,

many would vehemently disagree.
