Original Note:
Partly false. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam was not supporting “infanticide.” He was referring to a “extremely rare case” of a nonviable pregnancy (which means the baby is unable to survive). https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN27D2GS/ https://www.factcheck.org/2020/02/meme-misquotes-virginia-governor-on-abortion-bill/ It is not legal to kill babies once born in Virginia. That is a felony. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/02/meme-misquotes-virginia-governor-on-abortion-bill/
