- [Reporter] Pro-lifers and Republicans

from around the country blasted

the Democratic bill in Virginia

which would allow abortions to take place

up until the day of birth.

- The pro-abortion leaders in these states

are proving once and for allwhat they're really about

and that's abortion whenever,

even up until the moment of birth

and even after birth.

- [Reporter] PresidentTrump spoke out about

the proposed legislation as well,

saying during an interviewwith the Daily Caller

that it would lift thewhole pro-life movement

like never before.

Hawkins also believes the legislation

is actually a good signfor the pro-life movement.

- Abortion advocatesare showing their hand.

They are so afraid that Roeand Doe are going to fall

and fall very soon that they'regoing to Democrat states,

states where they feellike they have a stronghold

to pass this outrageous legislation,

to make sure abortionis legal in their state

once Roe falls.

- [Reporter] Meanwhile,a Democratic co-sponsor

has backed away hersupport of the legislation,

writing in an emailthat she didn't exercise

due diligence by closely examining

the language of a bill shewas attaching her name to.

And Virginia governor, Ralph Northam,

a pediatric neurologist, isdefending his own comments

in support of the bill.

Critics said his position onwhat could happen to a child

after birth amounted to infanticide

but Northam said Thursday his comments

had been mischaracterized.

None of the Democratic lawmakers running

for President in 2020 have commented on

the Virginia abortion bill.

But many of them are co-sponsors of a bill

called the Women's Health Protection Act

which would override state restrictions

on third trimester abortions.

- The majority of Americansaren't even anywhere near that.

That's an extremist position to hold.

In fact, a poll we just had released

showed that only sevenpercent of millennials,

the largest voting block in America,

were in line with thisthinking on abortion

of abortion all ninemonths and taxpayer funded.

- [Reporter] And Gallup polling indicates

Democrats are out of stepwith the public on this issue.

60% of Americans think abortion

should only be allowedin the first trimester

and only 13% support itin the third trimester.
