Topic: Third Trimester

2 chapters across the catalog

Former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's 2019 comments regarding third-trimester abortions are revisited, where he described keeping delivered infants comfortable while doctors and parents discuss their fate. Pro-life activists link these practices to undercover investigations into the sale of fetal tissue and organs to research institutions. Kamala Harris is criticized for prosecuting the reporters who exposed these activities.

A 2019 clip features Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran discussing House Bill 2491, which sought to eliminate restrictions on third-trimester abortions. Tran admits under questioning that the bill would allow for an abortion even as a woman is dilating and about to give birth. The segment notes that over ten states, including California and New York, have similar permissive laws.
