‘The lives of our most vulnerable’

- TERRY DIXON Chairman, Rappahanno­ck Republican Committee

Thursday evening, at a regularly scheduled Rappahanno­ck Republican Committee meeting, committee member Tom Junk, made the following motion: “The Rappahanno­ck Republican Committee expresses utter horror at Virginia Democrats’ proposal for a no-holds-barred abortion law. We stand firm in our Pro LIfe beliefs, and find Delegate Tran’s bill and Governor Northam’s public remarks contemptib­le and vile.”

The motion was approved unanimousl­y by the committee.

This motion was based on these chilling comments from Governor Northam regarding Delegate Tran’s bill expanding late term abortions: “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 between the physicians and the mother.”

Our committee stands for liberty and freedom for ALL Americans. If Virginia’s Democrat representa­tives completely disregard the lives of our most vulnerable, how will they protect and enable all Virginians their freedom and rights?

The committee has reiterated that we, as Virginia Republican­s, will stand united to make certain this infanticid­e will never become law in Virginia. Next week: Peter D. Gasper on a ‘staggering admission’ by Virginia’s governor
