KATHY TRAN, VA DELEGATE, EXPLAING HER LAW SHE'S TRYING TO PASS (THE REPEAL ACT); (GILBERT) "WHERE IT'S OBVIOUS THAT A WOMAN IS ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH, SHE HAS PHYSICAL SIGNS THAT SHE'S ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH. WOULD THAT STILL BE A POINT AT WHICH SHE COULD REQUEST AN ABORTION? IF SHE WERE SO CERTIFIED? SHE'S DILATING?"; (TRAN) "MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT WOULD BE A DECISION THAT THE DR, THE PHYSICIAN AND THE WOMAN WOULD HAVE AT THAT POINT."; "I UNDERSTAND THAT, I'M ASKING IF YOUR BILL ALLOWS THAT?"; "MY BILL WOULD ALLOW THAT, YES."; RADIO INTERVIEW WITH RALPH NORTHAM, GOVERNOR (D) OF VA:; "IT'S DONE IN CASES WHERE THERE MAY BE EXTREME DEFORMATIES, MAY BE A FETUS THAT'S NON-VIABLE, SO IN THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE, IF A MOTHER IS IN LABOR, I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE INFANT WOULD BE DELIVERED, THE INFANT WOULD BE KEPT COMFORTABLE, RESUSCITATED IF THAT'S WHAT THE MOTHER & FAMILY DESIRED AND THEN A DISCUSSION WOULD ENSUE BETWEEN THE PHYSICIANS AND THE MOTHER."; A DISCUSSION ABOUT...
