There's no doubt he was fine with allowing a viable fetus or infant with a severe deformity to die if the one doctor and the woman chose that option. You and many others might agree the woman should have that choice, but stop arguing that Northam was talking only about non-viable fetuses. [btw, how come he didn't mention any discussions with the father post-birth.]

Apparently you can't read???
Point me to WHERE he says he is fine with allowing a viable fetus to die. Until you can do that, you are simply misrepresenting what was said. Hell, in the very post that you quoted, which has his entire quote, he clearly says "non-viable" or with "severe deformities". No where does he mention a healthy baby. So take your chicken little nonsense somewhere else.
