The State of New York just passed a law that allows abortions right up to the moment of birth. As the bill was signed Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic legislature stood up applauding in a ghoulish celebration of death.

Not to be outdone a Virginia Democratic state legislator proposed a bill that would allow abortions right up to the time of dilation. Virginia’s Democratic Governor Ralph Northam went even further. If at the time of birth an abortion is unsuccessful, and the baby is delivered alive, he or she will be kept comfortable until the decision is made to end the child’s life. What Northam describes is infanticide, the killing of a baby outside the womb. Doctors are currently serving life sentences for this type of barbaric behavior. Thankfully there was enough human decency left in Virginia’s state legislature to kill this obscene bill.

What happened to the Democrats who wanted abortion to be “safe, legal, and rare?” New York’s law now makes it legal for non-doctors to perform abortions. Apparently, safety is no longer a concern. Being rare was never a concern. They now want abortions whenever, wherever and for any reason. The mask is off and evil is on full display. Babies feel pain in the second trimester. New York’s law allows fully developed babies to be crushed and sucked out of their mother’s womb.

The term “slippery slope” doesn’t begin to describe where this criminal behavior might lead. If the left succeeds in making the killing of these viable human beings acceptable who might be next? The infirm who are old? The infirm who are young? And who decides? The death panels that Barack Obama dismissed as Republican illusions have arrived.

Eight days since the signing of the bill and not a word from Pope Francis.
