This absurd comment from trump, trumps palin's "death panels" comment. Doesn't the GOP have anything going for them other than to scare voters with lies?
No they do not. I have yet to see any policy that benefits anyone but the rich from the GOP and Trump. How do these tools keep buying the garbage Trump and the GOP are peddling?
He's talking about babies who are born and will die because they have conditions that are incompatible with life.
Incompatible with life? Man, isn't that a wide net. You could have been "incompatible with life" for all we know. Would Stephen Hawking live under your rule?

Yes, it's exactly what he said. No medical treatment is given to a born alive baby if the mother/family chooses to let the baby die. That's infanticide.
So pulling the plug on brain dead patients in the hospital is definitely murder and murder charges should be filed?

At least Palin's "death panel" nonsense didn't implicitly call out as murderers people who'd been faced with a colossal tragedy and the sort of tough decision that no parent should ever have to face. Then again, Trump makes Palin look like a stateswoman, so...

If ignorance was incompatible with life, the quality of debate on this board would be a good deal higher.

Hard to have a debate/discussion with someone who has no idea what he/she is talking about.

So, he means that if the parents know their child is going to die fairly soon, they can choose to keep the child alive by artificial means... or not.
It was not the most eloquent thing I ever heard, but it's not infanticide any more than deciding to pull the plug on your braindead grandpa after his coma is murder.
Issues such as whole brain death and PVS are already addressed by laws that apply to every person, regardless of recent birth status.
So why do we need this new, proposed legislation that involves speaking to the parents before taking action?

What do you mean by "action," advanced life support measures to prolong death?
