Never say it’s too late to expand freedom and happiness. Our feminist friends are happily expanding the right to abortion from the three month line, where about 60 percent of Americans prefer it be ended, to six months, where 90 percent want it ended, to full gestation, or even the onset of labor, or maybe beyond even that.

Some time ago, pro-choice fanatic Barbara Boxer said that a baby had rights when “brought home from the hospital,” and perhaps not a moment before. In the old days, when people had standards, it was considered extreme to puncture the baby’s skull and then suck its brains out while its body was still in the birth canal, but the abortion rights movement had already gone far beyond that.

In New York, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently signed a bill allowing abortion at the moment of birth, and then ordered a light show to celebrate. in Virginia, Delegate Kathy Tran introduced, Gov. Ralph Northam supported, and the House of Delegates killed a bill that went beyond even that, changing the number of doctors needed to okay a late term abortion from three down to one. It would have also dropped a requirement for nonviability or gross defect in the fetus, or a genuine threat to the life of the mother. A mere case of the mother’s unease would have justified an abortion moments before birth.

After that, in the priceless words of the Democratic governor, who is busy aborting his career on a race-centered issue, the following things would take place: “If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue.”

A “discussion” of what? The baby was born; in the eyes of the law, it’s a full human being; in the eyes of the Left it is otherwise. The “choice” that is left, if the baby is actually born, seems to be whether it is allowed to keep living or not.

Northam seems to believe there is such a thing as a post-natal abortion. In the real world, this goes by harsher words such as manslaughter, infanticide, and murder. Does Northam even seem to begin to understand what it is he said? Most probably not.

In concurrent events, Northam seems to have even more problems in his recollections of what he was doing and why. First, he confessed that one of the two people dressed in blackface or the white sheets of a Klansman. whose picture appeared on his page in his medical school yearbook for 1984, had indeed been himself. The next day, he recanted the story, and said that though he appeared in blackface at other times and in other places, this wasn’t actually him in the picture at all.

No doubt it was this, along with his belief that a baby who had already been born could still be aborted, that led Democrats to shun him and his bill as radioactive, to deny all awareness of all its provisions, and to refuse to discuss it all. The only real friends of this bill were those in the press, who led with the theme of “Republicans Pounce,” and expressed their concern for poor Kathy Tran, whose feelings were hurt in the course of the fracas.

Democracy, it seems, dies only in darkness. Or if we stop killing babies at all.
