Blackface is bad. But slaughtering deformed babies is worse, Northam.

I can’t imagine what lies in the heart of someone who cheers for more abortions. I can’t imagine feeling “sweet” over authorizing doctors (and even non-doctors, in the case of New York’s law) to terminate babies over deformities.
