Almost a year after a top-ranking Democrat shocked the political world with a jaw-dropping comment about murder, The Horn News has found secret documents that show an outside political group was literally putting words in his mouth.
It’s been almost a year since Virginia Governor Ralph Northam said he would support a doctor who decided to complete an “abortion” on a living baby outside the womb… and he’s still in office, still signing bills and — new documents show — parroting the words directly written by his left-wing megadonors.
After he backed infanticide, Governor Ralph Northam’s office asked liberal abortion groups to be his ventriloquist.
It all began when Northam jumped to the defense of a Virginia Democrat who introduced a bill letting abortionists kill a baby up to the moment of birth.
When a Republican asked the bill’s sponsor point-blank if her bill would let an abortion happen while “she’s dilating,” the sponsor replied, “My bill would allow that, yes.”
Northam tried to protect his fellow Democrat during a radio interview—but just ended up exposing how radical his party is on abortion, instead.
“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen” under the bill, the governor said. “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 desires.”
“And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother,” Northam said.
That “discussion” would be about whether the newborn baby would live or die.
The governor threw the full support of his office behind killing an “infant” on the delivery table—which is infanticide.
A video of Northam went viral because it revealed how soulless and cold-blooded the Democratic Party’s ultra-liberal orthodoxy had become.
President Donald Trump said, “Do you remember when I said Hillary Clinton was willing to rip the baby out of the womb?… “That’s what they’re doing. It’s terrible.”
Lila Rose, the head of the pro-life investigative group Live Action, said Northam’s “disgusting” comments would treat babies “like so much trash.”
Absolutely disgusting. Virginia Governor @RalphNortham defends leaving born-alive infants alone to die.
THIS is the revolting consequence of legalized, culturally-accepted abortion. If a “fetus” can be slaughtered, why can’t a newborn be discarded too, like so much trash? pic.twitter.com/gabfsh64p0

Northam realized he needed help 00 so his backers invited Planned Parenthood to put words in the governor’s mouth.
Planned Parenthood didn’t just give him a few words. They and other pro-abortion lobbyists sent 115 pages of emails to direct every word Gov. Ralph Northam said.
A former official in the Office of the Lieutenant Governor sent an email message to Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia through their website, begging for help.
Planned Parenthood was more than happy to “help.” PPAV employee Missy Wesolowski sent the talking points to Virginia’s Secretary of Health and Human Services Gena Berger.
The group, which performs thousands of abortions a year, told Democrats to say Republicans were “completely inaccurate and misleading” voters about “safe, legal abortion.”
Planned Parenthood also told Northam and his allies to use these lines:
“There is no such thing as an abortion up until birth.”
“Making a decision about whether to continue a pregnancy is a complex and personal decision. Politicians have no place in this process.”
“As a physician, I know how important it is to trust my patients and for my patients to trust me.”
“These are complicated medical decisions that families deserve to make in private without political interference.”
These are bald-faced lies. Abortionists open advertise “medically indicated termination of pregnancy up to 36 weeks,” and creepy abortionist Steve Brigham kept the body of a baby he aborted at 36 weeks in his freezer.
Planned Parenthood also told the Democrats to do everything they could to keep the public in the dark about their lies and extremism.
“If possible, answer on background, not for attribution,” according to the emails, which Judicial Watch obtained through a lawsuit.
But these emails rip the lid off the fact that abortionists write the Democrats’ speeches.
Planned Parenthood wasn’t enough: Northam’s press secretary, Alena Yarmosky, was also in touch with NARAL, another abortion lobbyist group, to ask for “talking points.”
Imagine the outrage if Donald Trump asked a for-profit business to literally write his speeches endorsing their product!
That’s exactly what Democrats are doing on abortion… and the group tells them to lie and stay in the shadows.
“Northam isn’t just acting on information given to him by these groups, he’s acting as their puppet,” wrote conservative blogger Brandon Morse at RedState. “Whenever his mouth moves, Planned Parenthood and NARAL are the ones doing the talking. They even seem to be doing the talking in the very bills that hit the floor in Virginia. Bills that attempt to promote infanticide, to boot.”
When the Democratic politicians accuse Republicans of being mouthpieces for special interests, maybe they should be looking in the mirror.
