You are incorrect. Right-wing fake news media is feeding you a load of orange turds you happily swallow.
Northam expressed support and spoke broadly about his belief that politicians should leave abortion decisions to women and their doctors.
Stated Northam's office:" “No woman seeks a third-trimester abortion except in the case of tragic or difficult circumstances, such as a nonviable pregnancy or in the event of severe fetal abnormalities, and the governor’s comments were limited to the actions physicians would take in the event that a woman in those circumstances went into labor.”
That is how it works. If the mother's life is in danger, or the fetus is dying, a doctor will "recommend" aborting a fetus. And no one expect fake right-wing media is claiming killing a living baby.
Sorry, as usual libs are always wrong.
I'll quote Vox for you since you libs like that trash.
The controversy has centered on a provision concerning third-trimester abortions. Under current Virginia law, in order for a patient to terminate a pregnancy in the third trimester, three doctors must certify that continuing the pregnancy would likely cause the patient’s death or “substantially and irremediably impair” her mental or physical health. The new bill would reduce the number of doctors to one, and remove the “substantially and irremediably” qualifier — abortions would be allowed in cases where a mother’s mental or physical health is threatened, even if the damage might not be irreversible.
Two things are striking:
1) A single doctor ( a doctor with a cause) can claim a metal health threat. A mental health threat could mean anything,
2) Why would they change the existing law and water it down? It makes you wonder the end game.
