The discussion between the physicians and the mother is unclear. Perhaps they are going to discuss terminating the life of the newborn. Perhaps they are going to discuss the upcoming American idol season finale.
As the article stated. Attempts to have the governor clarify his statements have met the stonewall.
People who pay attention to these kinds of matters have interpreted his statements as support for post birth abortion.
Speaking about abortion, Trump said, "we had the case of governor of Virginia where he stated he would execute a baby after birth."
Asked on a radio program what happens when a woman is going into labor who desires a third-trimester abortion, Northam noted that this kind of procedure only occurs in cases of severe deformities or nonviable pregnancy. He said that in this scenario, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
