This fucking orange abortion should be sued for Liable against the Democratic people of this country.
Last night on Faux Snooze, sorry but I wanted to hear what Mike Johnson was going to back the TFG on. Some said they would announce that MTG would be told to back off of Johnson, and TFG mentioned that they all get along great.
But at the 12:02 mark TFG gets a question about Abortion and he goes into how he got rid of Roe V Wade and then says, and I'm paraphrasing, " Democrats are the Radicals when it comes to abortion; They're OK with abortions at 6, 7, 8 months of pregnancy; they had a Democrat Governor in Virginia who says they "execute" live babies at birth!" Democrats execute live babies at birth.
WTF!!! How can he say that? Why cant the SPLC sue the fuck out of him for Liable against the Democratic Citizens of the US?
In due diligence here is the article and link to Democratic Governor Ralph Northam in 2019 on a radio show and exactly what he said.

At the 38:48 mark he gets a question about 3rd trimester abortions. He says first "they are extremely rare." But TFG says we do it every hour of every day. Northam says in those rare occasions the Mother and Physicians discuss if this is due to severe deformities or a non viable fetus, that the baby would be kept comfortable as the Mother and Physicians discuss what to do.
At NO time does he say we kill the baby. Fucking Dump and his fucking lying directly to his bible thumping, knuckle dragging, sister fucking, rubes...and they eat it up like a TV dinner.
Fucking hate that guy!!

(17,802 posts)Post birth abortion has been a rw talking point for months. Since before last fall at least.
The execution term is new. Always implied though.
It would always be murder. There are laws against it in every state, and there are no medical exemptions.

(11,202 posts)Trump is responsible for countless COVID deaths by making his followers fearful of vaccines and promoting false cures (all while being one of the first to take the vaccine himself). Trump advocated repealing the ACA and allowing cheap junk policies with no maternal/prenatal care.
No abortions are performed on live babies. That actually isn't even possible by definition.

(176,883 posts)The problem isnt just that Republicans are lying about Democrats and infanticide. It's also the fact that they feel like they need to lie.

North Carolina Representative Greg Murphy continued Tuesday to weave the yarn on Fox Business, telling host Maria Bartiromo that Democrats want to kill kids when theyre coming out of the birth canal.
The GOP congressman specifically said on the air, [Abortion is] going to be a big issue every time, because you have folks really on both sides, really probably more Democrat, that want abortion literally when the child is coming out of the birth canal, always to force the issue.

......But theres a larger context to all of this. Republicans like Trump and Murphy seriously expect voters to believe that there are women, medical professionals, and Democratic policymakers who want abortion literally when the child is coming out of the birth canal. Thats insane. There are no such people.
This, in turn, helps set the stage for a debate over the future of reproductive rights in the United States, with the presumptive GOP nominee and his cohorts apparently convinced they need to peddle outrageous falsehoods, not just to smear their opponents, but also to distract from the fact that most Americans simply dont agree with the Republican Partys regressive position.
The problem, in other words, isnt just that guys like Trump and Murphy are lying. The problem is made worse by the fact that they feel like they need to lie in order to prevent more election defeats.

During a Sunday panel discussion on Fox News, Kurtz told Downey that Democrats were using Arizona's near-total abortion ban as an example of "what you get when you leave it up to the states."
"A court can step in and revive this 1864 law where you can get up to five years in prison if you're a provider," Kurtz explained.....
"Well, the infanticide thing is a bit of a Republican talking point," Kurtz interrupted. "Nobody is killing babies that have already been born."

Then he turned the issue back on Democrats, claiming that they were the "radical" party on abortion.
"They support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month," Trump said. "The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth. And that's exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that."
We have rated similar statements from Trump and other Republican leaders False. Democrats arent calling for the killing of infants after birth. Willfully ending a newborns life is illegal in every U.S. state.......
Our ruling
Trump claimed that Democrats support abortion measures that result in the "execution" of babies "after birth."
This is grossly inaccurate. Rather than discuss Democratic support for broad abortion access throughout pregnancy, Trumps inflammatory rhetoric exaggerates by saying the party supports killing an unwanted infant after birth. This would be infanticide and is illegal in every state.
Situations resulting in a fetal death in the third trimester are rare, and involve emergencies such as fetal anomalies or life-threatening medical emergencies affecting the mother. Babies that are delivered are not killed.
We rate this claim False.
