Trying to clarify that "the governor is not a king,"
the spokesman for Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe unwittingly highlights the
autocratic nature of the governor's scheme to skirt state law on abortion
clinic health and safety.
The law brings abortion clinics in line with reasonable health
and safety requirements of similar facilities. But Governor McAuliffe is
plotting to put abortion ideology over the rule of law, seeking end-runs around
the people's representatives and meanwhile stacking the state health board with
abortion partisans.
A year ago May 13, Philadelphia abortion clinic doctor Kermit
Gosnell was convicted
of murder. Gosnell had openly operated a squalid abortion clinic, let a patient
die and butchered babies born alive.
The Grand
Jury report cited testimony revealing that when pro-abortion governor Tom
Ridge took office, "high-level government officials" decided to
discontinue abortion clinic inspections. "There was a concern that if they
did routine inspections, that they may find a lot of these facilities didn’t
meet [health and safety standards] and then there would be less abortion
facilities…."
When abortion politics trumps health and safety, "back
alley abortion clinics" and their accompanying horrors thrive. Governor McAuliffe,
Virginia is not a kingdom but a commonwealth; enforce our laws.
