"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitatedif that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."
This is a direct quote from 2019 by former Gov. Northam in VA. But sure, nobody's for it. And before you come at me with your "oh, see, he said the baby would be resuscitated", reread that sentence - He said "...if that's what the parents and family desired," so he's completely ok with letting the baby die if that's what the parents wanted.
This was in the context of babies that are nonviable. Because yes, just like parents with a child in critical condition may not choose to try and save it because they don’t think there’s a chance, same for a newborn. Its hard to not call all magats illiterate and delusional when these are your talking points.
