Bottom line, Democrats voted in either a black face or a KKK wearing governor who naturally was pointing a finger away from himself.

Both parties have had more than their share of racists candidates and elected officials. Neither party owns that no matter how the talking heads and partisans try to spin it.
All I know is I am about the age of Northam and I have never posed for racist pictures, never sent out a racist tweet. Never did any of the things that all the me too people have been accused of. I think there has to be some proof to any accusations and with Northham its pretty cut and dry not a he said she said type of thing.
So I really do not feel sorry for those that have been taken down because of their past behavior. Most of these people know better.
Yup. Letting a baby die from lack of food and hydration is criminally negligent homicide - not " abortion."
And where do we draw the line on less-than-perfect? What if you get one with mild cerebral palsy, like my cousin? Or one with a slightly misshapen foot due to position in utero? Or, hell, what about a fourth boy, when we really wanted a girl this time?
Slippery slope.
Extreme examples that no doctor would ever allow. At that late in the game, it is not an abortion it is labor inducement. Any child that had the conditions you reference above would live outside the womb. For a physician to do anything less would be murder.
You are taking statements out of context. Both Tran and Northam were referring to births that occur because of tragic consequences.
My aunt's sister decided to carry a birth through to the third trimester. She found out in the third trimester that her child had most organs outside the body. Had she had an inducement at 5-6 months, the child would have died within minutes after delivery. She went 38 weeks, was flown to a special center and had a team put together to try to make this child comfortable. She was induced, and because of the deformities they really could not do anything to keep it comfortable or give it oxygen or what have you. It took about 24 hours for this baby to die a very slow, agonizing death as it organs failed one by one outside the womb.
This is the situation that is being addressed.
It's terrible how the anti-abortion crowd would use these statements in such a disingenuous way. It really makes me question the authenticity of anything they say. They have twisted this into such a shameful weapon, it's sickening.
You can agree or disagree about late term abortions for any reason. That's a separate issue. The fact is, this law has been on the books in Virginia for quite some time and there was no one thinking that a healthy, viable baby would be induced that late and killed. A baby can be safely induced at 24-27 weeks and be put in the NICU. If a mother were having such extreme health issues that she couldn't carry at, say 27 weeks, the baby would be induced and be cared for not murdered.

Let’s think about this. Bottom line, Do you really think that either party, Democrat, or Republican, would have even nominated, let alone elected, the guy if they knew that this information was in his background? No way.
Someone may have already shared a similar link but this is funny: mediaite.com/tv/cnn-chyron-incorrectly-labels-democratic-gov-ralph-northam-as-a-republican. Seriously, if Fox News did a similar similar, chances that might go even more viral!

Slippery slope.
We're already down that slippery slope. The left promised it was going to be just 1st trimester abortions. Then they moved it to 1st and 2nd trimester abortions. Now they're advocating for 3rd trimester abortions, and some coming out and revealing that they are for infanticide with the baby being born - they admit that the baby will be born and then left "comfortably" on the table while they discuss with the mother if they should snuff that baby's life out or not.
We're far down that slippery slope already, which is why people should stand up against this - it's clear that they will not stop. They have stated that the mother can "abort" (after the baby is born, it's not "abortion" it's infanticide) if it would cause her mental anguish to keep the baby - that's pretty damn vague, don't you think?
But I don't think outing Northam is because he told the truth about this. I think the agenda is something else.
Why would the man's political party have anything to do with this? If this accusation is true, remove him from office. This isn't complicated.
Same goes for racist apologists, especially when they hold the highest office of the land.
This coming from a leftist is just laughable. Democrats have been constantly running guilt-by-association articles and smear campaigns for years now. This is why the backlash is so huge. We're just holding you guys to your own standards.

Because what you say is not true. But please, continue to believe what they want you to believe.
