Late Wednesday night, actor James Woods slammed Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam for his barbaric stance on abortion.

“Watch your interview, pretend you aren’t a lackey for the #DemocratDeathMachine, and imagine the person speaking about killing a newborn isn’t you,” Woods wrote.

Woods was referring to bizarre comments made by Northam on WTOP Wednesday morning. The governor defended late-term abortion and even hinted at post-birth abortion.

“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.

“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,” Northam said in the interview.

Abortion is murder at any stage of pregnancy, but even the most immoral and evil leftists should be able to draw the line at murdering babies who’ve been born.

The comments came after Democrats in Virginia tried to pass legislation that will allow late-term abortions even when the woman is moments away from giving birth.

The bill was tabled Wednesday, according to WTVR. Its sponsor, Democratic Delegate Kathy Tran, does not expect it to be taken up this session, WTVR reported.

Fortunately, the governor received strong criticism for his comments.

One of the harshest critics was Republican Sen. Ben Sasse, who suggested Northam should leave office.

“I don’t care what party you’re from — if you can’t say that it’s wrong to leave babies to die after birth, get the hell out of public office,” Sasse said.

In response to the criticism, Northam didn’t defend his stance or apologize for his comments.

Instead, he said that he has devoted his life to caring for children.

“I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting,” the governor tweeted Wednesday.

That’s a particularly weak statement from someone who just publicly considered legalizing the murder of babies.

Woods saw right through Northam’s weak defense. To put things into perspective, Woods asked the governor to imagine if the person making the comments was a random savage instead.

“Would you want that person within a mile of your children? Shame on you. That savage is you, killer.”

Woods is spot-on, and somebody needed to say it — Democrats are savage killers.
