The governor of Virginia Ralph Northam supports infanticide. Many Democrats are on board with killing viable babies outside the womb. What say you?
Ed,
Just an FYI, here is the Oxford English definition of infanticide...
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/infanticideAn infant is defined as a child from the point of live birth - 1 year old. Medical definition of fetus and infant here...
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/137/5/e20160551It should be noted, in medical textbooks there is often a distinction made between neonates (birth to 2 months—ever heard of a NICU?) and an infant (2 months post birth to 1 year) but that may be splitting hairs too much for some of you.
I am not aware of any lib calling to kill infants (properly defined as either a child from live birth to 1 year old or, more correctly, 2 months post live birth and 1 year old). If you are referring to Ralph Northman’s recent comments on abortion—what you are saying is false. Here is what he said....
“Asked on a radio program what happens when a woman is going into labor who desires a third-trimester abortion, Northam noted that this kind of procedure only occurs in cases of severe deformities or nonviable pregnancy. He said that in this scenario, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/non-viableHere is a link with Northam’s full radio interview—its long but if you listen to what he says you’ll see he never says he thinks it’s okay to kill an infant. To claim he said he was okay with “infanticide” is a lie.
