Does the law specify this?

And its also done when a pregnant woman decides at the last minute not to be. And VA, NY, CA all allow it FOR ANY REASON.

He also stated he is in favor of third trimester abortions.
And (if so) I disagree with him on that point.

Candidly, given the hatred for the man on this forum, I have trouble accepting as accurate any attribution of a statement to him made here.

Northam (said) his comments were “absolutely not” a reference to infanticide, and that they “focused on the tragic and extremely rare case in which a woman with a nonviable pregnancy or severe fetal abnormalities went into labor.”


Pretty clear understanding that he's talking about infanticide.

Who cares?

...the guy is a one termer.

To paraphrase, he said that in the instance of a non-viable birth, a physician and the mother should consult and decide whether to undertake fruitless heroic efforts or to instead let nature take its course while providing palliative care.



Yeah, that's not what he said either. Your paraphrasing isn't much better.

odd that I never see the two most outspoken lawyers on the poli board interact. Maybe they do and I have just missed it.
Given the context, I assume that I am one of these lawyers. Who is the other? I interact regularly with several other attorneys. DavyJones and NIH jump to mind.

Not exactly, but close enough not to quibble. And I do not support 3rd-trimester abortion for any reason other than physical medical necessity.

What if I told you third trimester abortions weren’t always done in cases where there were non-viable fetuses or severe deformities?

You, of course, know this and play a dishonest shell game with your arguments.

quote:

How does that compare with what would happen with a non-infant? Do you know? What if the infant doesn’t need to be resuscitated at all? Awkward questions Hank and Ralph don’t want to answer.

This is why framing the debate is important. You hate Trump “dishonestly” framing the debate and have no problem with Northam dishonestly framing the debate.

According to Hank and in layman's terms:

A) Governor Blackface/KKK or any of his Planned Parenthood murderers would perform the abortion

B) Botch it

C) Deliver the suffering/mangled child

D) Try to resuscitate it and bring it back to life

E) Talk it over with the murdering host of the child

F) And then maybe try to kill it again, depending upon what the murdering host wants to do at that point.

Is this about right?

Not at all. I agree with him on some issues and disagree on others. I say “Good Trump” here about something at least weekly on the average.

Technically you are correct; they allow it if the mother's "health" is in danger.

But "health" is so loosely defined (e.g. "I don't feel like giving birth", which then is taken to mean that the pregnancy is adversely affecting a woman's "emotional health") that it becomes for all intents and purposes any reason at all.
