In a Jan. 30 radio interview, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a physician, said this about late-term abortions: “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and mother.”

What constitutes a child being perfect? There isn’t such a thing as perfection. Some characteristics make people unique or more beautiful — like Joaquin Phoenix’s cleft lip, Elizabeth Taylor’s extra eyelashes and Kate Bosworth’s mismatched eye color.
