People have been warning about a society failing after it turns away from God since there was a God. This is not a new concept, but we seem to be stepping on the gas here instead of pumping the brakes.
An American politician took to the airwaves Wednesday and described the birth, resuscitation and discussion of eliminating a newborn baby’s life.
Conservatives were rightly outraged because this is a ghastly conversation.
VA gov on abortion this morning:
“If a mother is in labor…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 & mother" pic.twitter.com/cc15pVLjIQ

Governor Ralph Northam (D-VA) made his comments — not out of concern for the mother in this situation, but out of fear for the radical American left and their fetish for abortion and for money.

As a pro-choice conservative talk show host, I believe abortion should be legal, rare and available in the instances of concern over the health of the mother. But this is not that.
This is murdering a baby outside of the womb.
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring took to Twitter to defend the governor and attack those who found the comments outrageous.
Trump and his Republicans in Richmond are trying to spread shameful lies about Kathy Tran, a tremendous delegate, and @GovernorVA @RalphNortham, a man who served our nation in uniform and dedicated his life to caring for children as a pediatrician. Don’t believe a word of it.

The Washington Post implied the “conservative backlash” is the problem.

Northam later offered up a defense of his comments, which was also absurd.
I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.

This is being framed as a viability issue, but that is a garbage argument. A 2013 study found a majority of women that want late-term abortions seek them for issues other than the viability of the fetus.
Northam’s remarks were largely ignored by the mainstream media.
No matter what you think about abortion, this is unacceptable. The fact that there is no condemnation from all corners shows we are a society in decline.
To put this in perspective, if a puppy were discussed in this way by a random Twitter user, the American media and large portions of society of all stripes would launch social media campaigns to identify and destroy this person.
