I was just thinking about how upsetting the whole thing still would be to the Virginians still trying to put together a fragile new blue state... but uh turns out it owns even from a practical angle I think enough people don't really feel like Northam would be that great of a loss. How poo poo has he been on doling out good policies?

Jackson Taus posted:In Virginia, 3rd trimester abortions can only happen when 3 separate doctors say that they're medically necessary. A Democratic bill wanted to reduce that down to only 1 doctor saying it's medically necessary. The same bill was up in 2018, but 2019 is an election year and the RPV needs something to run on. ah good, such a nice compromise, only one doctor to gatekeep a women doing what she wants with her body

I don't get who is giving Northam advice. Apparently he's not going to pack it in at the 2:30 press conference?!?!?mandatory lesbian posted:ah good, such a nice compromise, only one doctor to gatekeep a women doing what she wants with her body I mean, this is a third trimester abortion, performed by a medical doctor. If you need one, finding a doctor to sign off on the medical necessity of the procedure is probably no harder than finding a doctor to perform the procedure (which is fairly tough in non-blue states).

There's part of me that wants to buy his story about it not being him. And that would kind of track since... no one found this until now? But also... I'm WAY more apt to believe that people are just stupid and literally no one doing oppo research bothered to check his loving year books. He needs to resign. The timing of this and the abortion bill was clearly coordinated, though, so someone's been sitting on this waiting for a moment to pounce.

I hope Virginia Democrats are jamming his phone lines with calls to resign. He'll only do it if the pressure keeps up--eventually, he'll decide that it isn't worth it anymore.

So, if Fairfax also goes down because this sexmonster accusation ends up being real, what happens to Virginia's political landscape? Because this is now starting to seem really really bad.

Last I checked this was a previously-dismissed accusation from a right wing pundit, not in any way involving the alleged victim.
