That is a complete and utter falsehood. The law is clear. Even severely deformed infants (which he was talking about) must be given ordinary care and cannot legally be abandoned to die. The false narrative generators implied that when he said "then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother." he must naturally mean how to kill the baby, of course. When in reality the discussion would depend on the condition and the prognosis of the child, and what the options are.
Based on the legislation by Virginia politician
Kathy Tran, the basis for the remarks of Northam, there is absolutely no reason to claim that "severely deformed infants" would be the only children to be set aside and left to die if the mother said her "mental well being" was threatened and the attending abortionist would concur ( a slam dunk certainty).
Northam's comments gave an entirely different impression and he painted a picture
that was wholly incomplete.
So at the least, Northam is being
very disingenuous about the whole thing. But he lied and bluffed his way through his black-face scandal so that's not anything new for Ralph Northam.
