Heartbeat bills — um, sorry Alyssa Milano, we meant “fetal pole cardiac activity bills” (same thing) — are spreading, and if a Virginia lawmaker has his way, Gov. Ralph Northam’s state might have an abortion ban similar to the one that has Hollywood (allegedly) pulling all of its productions from Georgia.

Northam, who apparently follows ThinkProgress on Twitter, says his veto pen is ready … and it’s full of ink.

My veto pen is ready and full of ink. https://t.co/p5M987zaN2 — Ralph Northam (@GovernorVA) May 15, 2019

Black ink? — Joey Solomon (@JoeyFSolomon) May 15, 2019

You gonna smear that ink all over your face for old time's sake? #GovernorBlackface https://t.co/L6LxwQKUCj — Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) May 15, 2019

Is that what you used for blackface ? — h0tr0d (@h0tr0d9) May 15, 2019

Don’t color your face black bro. — Nick James (@NickJam54531190) May 15, 2019

Will you be in blackface? — Green Dragon (@GreenDragon365) May 15, 2019

Are you kidding? He’ll put on blackface and a Klan hood, put the bill on his office floor and moonwalk on it. This guy has no shame.

Will you be wearing black face or the KKK hood when you sign it? — OverIt (@sublime277) May 15, 2019

I thought you only used black ink to do costumes. — Some random thoughts (@someideasnstuff) May 15, 2019

Dude – use a marker or shoe polish. It’s going to take hours to color your face black with an ink pen. Rookie. — Jesus Buddy Christ (@ZZombie_Jesus) May 15, 2019

Way to go, Coonman. — 40M babies aborted. 40M illegals imported. (@BillyBobBobo1) May 15, 2019

You're a disgrace. — select o speed (@selectospeed) May 15, 2019

It’s amazing how Democrats will tolerate you, a racist Governor, you’re lucky to be a Democrat. — CS (@coreyshmuel) May 15, 2019

You're still in office? — JohnnyG (@realJohnGoeller) May 15, 2019

Resign. I cannot believe you are still governor. — Christian ✝️ (@crizby777) May 15, 2019

Not only is he still governor — the yearbook photo controversy probably helped him by distracting people from his shocking comments on infanticide.

Will you make the bill feel comfortable before you kill it? — Tom Dosto #Trump2020 #Q (@Nopartysyst) May 15, 2019

Do me a favor Governor. Please make sure the bill is comfortable before you terminate it. ?? — Jim (@Bassmaster12) May 15, 2019

Are you going to have a conversation and make it comfortable before vetoing it? — GeneralWashington (@OGPRES1789) May 15, 2019

WMAL radio calls you Governor Gosnell. — Timothy Bigler CPP (@timbiglercpp) May 15, 2019

Really? Mad props to WMAL … that’s brilliant.

You kinda caused the recent flurry by fabricating a claim that after a baby is born it is wrapped in a blanket and then there a conversation to let it live or not. How could you misrepresent reality so completely? That is infanticide. Damn, Governor, you gave caused a lot of harm — KathyinBburg (@KathyinBburg) May 15, 2019

Use that pen to sign your resignation letter. Your support for infanticide is despicable and inhuman. Your words are forever etched in the minds of decent people who heard you loud and clear, no misunderstanding, nothing out of context. You said it, you own it. Resign. — Jennifer Hartline (@jenniehartline) May 15, 2019

Rest easy abortion lovers, racists and racist abortion lovers, Governor Coon Man is here to make sure abortion mills can continue to slaughter babies (who happen to be disproportionately black). @lifehaspurpose — Roscoe Soultrain (@NotBobFrancisO) May 15, 2019

Lacking too much of that infanticidal flavor you prefer? — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) May 15, 2019

Yeah. I think six weeks isn't ripe enough for @governorva. Gotta let 'em age a bit. — Leatherneck (@Leatherneck) May 15, 2019

No doubt, you're disgusting. — Lisa Turnage (@LisaTurnage12) May 15, 2019

He’ll probably have to rush back to the capital from his “reconciliation tour” to veto any pro-life, anti-infanticide legislation that passes his desk.
