Last General Assembly session Democratic Delegate Kathy Tran of Fairfax County submitted HB 2491, a bill that would allow a mother to abort her baby while she is delivering the child.
Never mind the idea of keeping abortion “safe, legal and rare,” which was the outdated cry of the abortion for profit industry. Today, the radical left wants abortion on demand at any time and without remorse. Tran is one of their leaders and she is more than just likely to retain her seat this fall.
After Tran’s inhumane bill failed, Governor Ralph Northam went on the radio and took Tran’s ridiculousness one giant step further when he explain, as a doctor, that children who are born will be kept comfortable while a discussion is had on whether or not to murder the kid. Really. He said that. It’s what launched Northam into the the whole calls-for-resignation-by-nearly-every-Virginia-Democrat fiasco.
But forget about the racist embarrassment of a governor for a minute and let’s stay focused on Tran and her Democratic colleagues in the House of Delegates. After Tran’s bill failed in committee thanks to the Republican majority, Democratic House leader Eileen Filler-Corn was asked about bringing the bill back up in future sessions and she said that there is a lot of support for this from her caucus.
That would mean that if Democrats win control of the House of Delegates and State Senate, then Tran’s bill could very well pass the General Assembly and a weaken Democratic governor would have no political capital left with his base to be able to oppose this.
To sum up- it’s Friday the 13th but demons and monsters are not anywhere as scary as a Democratic majority with a Democratic governor allowing a radical abortionist to push through such an inhumane bill as Delegate Kathy Tran’s HB 2491.
The ideal scenario would be to defeat Tran in her bid for re-election. She has proven she doesn’t belong in the Western Hemisphere’s oldest legislative body. But her defeat is unlikely. A more reachable goal is to work to hold the majority by winning the close competitive races, such as several races in Loudoun and Prince William counties. Please get involved by volunteering for a Republican nominee in a competitive race. We need to hold the razor-thin one seat majority so that, among other things, the most radical abortion law in America won’t come from Virginia.

*Delegate Dawn Adams later removed her name as an original co-patron after the bill failed claiming to have not read it, which should be labeled as a position worthy of disqualification for future elected service.
