‘Mask is off’: Michelle Malkin eviscerates brutal ‘barbarism’ of late-term-abortion Dems and their media cohorts
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Political commentator Michelle Malkin said the mask of the Democratic party is slipping to reveal the brutal “barbarism” of their views on abortion.
Malkin was discussing Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam on “Fox & Friends” Thursday and said his support of a late-term abortion law would perpetuate murder.
“This is murder. This is brutal. And the mask is off,” Malkin said. “We’re finally seeing the face of barbarism that the pro-abortion Democrats really represent. And there’s so much that’s chilling about the video clip that cannot be walked back.”
Northam appeared on WTOP radio Wednesday and supported post-birth abortions saying, “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.”
Malkin claimed a story like this reveals Democrats’ true motives and helps balance the scales to make up for the unfair demonization of the pro-life movement.
“I think that the general public now is really seeing the honest face of it and it’s about time. The pro-life movement has been demonized for so long and there’s a reason why you can connect the dots,” she said.
“The callousness with which the mainstream media treats the March for life protesters, we saw the anti-Catholic bias of the mainstream media in the Kavanaugh hearings and most recently just in the last weeks with the Covington boys who were at the March For Life.”

Michelle Malkin is right. It is brutal barbarism what they want to do in late 3rd trimester abortions and not protecting the life of human infants born alive when an abortion fails to kill the baby. It is brutal and their mask is off.
Nothing but parroting typical pro-life nonsense.
I love it when Malkin goes off into one of her tirades - she gets so hot!
And it helps to have something evil to rail against!
When she goes off on something we can count on the fact that whatever she is venting against is pure and ultimate evil 🦹♀️.
Yes, I remember her going off on Michelle Obama for wearing a designer gown while hosting a state dinner. Pure evil, that was.
I believe that article dealt with hypocrisy & false narratives. For anyone interested in Malkin's commentary, in context , here it is:
Nope. You should check your sources more closely. The link you posted is from 2016. She complained at the time of the state dinner, which was in 2014.
And frankly, I'd say most people would have trouble living in a fishbowl, as any first family does. Especially when some members of first families are criticized both for shopping at Target and for not shopping at Target when looking for a dress for a state dinner.
The families of the Presidents should ALWAYS be off limits. Not just the Obamas
Even to Michelle Malkin? You seemed to be defending her attack on Michelle Obama, trying to give it context.
And frankly, I disagree. I think the minor children of Presidents should be off-limits. Melania, Don, Jr., Ivanka - fair game.
But in the case of Michelle Obama, Malkin looked hard to find something to be pissed off about, and when she couldn't find much - well, let's go after her for not wearing an off-the-rack J. C. Penney prom dress to a state dinner (and yet also go after her for mentioning that she shopped at Target, in your link). It was really pretty ridiculous.
Is Tiffany fair game too?
I actually agree with you here. The only time I was critical of Michelle was when he was in office and she was making school lunches crappy again.
So you think it was pretty shitty of Malkin to go after Michelle Obama for the "pure evil" of wearing a designer dress to a state dinner?
As you pointed out I was looking at a different critique, but ya, that goes for my Michelle (Malkin), I know I could put a smile on her face.
And frankly, I disagree. I think the minor children of Presidents should be off-limits. Melania, Don, Jr., Ivanka - fair game.
Well if that's the way you feel, you should have no problem with a critique of Michelle Obama. So, do tell, what exactly makes her and only her off limits?
Where did I say she was off limits? Quotes, please.
My problem with the "critique" was that it was obviously just a weak attempt at criticism. She found nothing to criticize, so she went after the fact that Michelle Obama dressed appropriately. Somehow, dressing appropriately for the occasion was a bad thing, to your Michelle.
You have a crush on a very catty woman. Meow.
Um-hum, when she is angry. Maybe, she does need some discipline?
Meow.
Roar!
Michelle Malkin is a wanna-be Ann Coulter.
Whatever you and she are into, there, Vic.
Seems to me that someone who looks so hard for something to be angry about is probably a pretty miserable human being.
Maybe I shouldn't take her on. Are you thinking she is Bi-Polar?
The secular progressive left is always looking hard for someone or something to be angry at or about. Being angry and miserable is their collective reason for existence as a political class. We working and middle class citizens of Heartland America fully intend to provide multiple opportunities daily. MAGA!
I had to laugh at this,
Do you defend Michelle Malkin for attacking Michelle Obama and making a fool of herself? You're the one who said
But you also agree with Vic's statement that first families should be off limits. Which one is it?
I'm thinking she's just a miserable human being. But to some guys, that's unimportant. Even if she does (nonsexual) nasty things with which you disagree, like publicly attack a person over nothing.
You are entitled to that opinion
But to some guys, that's unimportant.
Actually, Iv'e been around for a long time and it is important.
Even if she does (nonsexual) nasty things with which you disagree, like publicly attack a person over nothing.
I can't really say, since I have no information about the occasion to which you are so upset about. What I do know (all kidding aside) is that really serious nasty stuff has been said about the family of Donald Trump in the past two years and as I recall there is nothing to compare with that in the past. I know how sensitive progressives are about our first black President, but again, there is nothing equivelent in the volume, nor the utter nastiness cast in the direction of this family in the past two years!
Yes, because Melania helping to spread the birther lie was absolutely no worse than Michelle Obama wearing a formal dress to a formal dinner
Same for Donnie Jr. (or was it Eric) asking for campaign donations from members of foreign governments. Or the nepotism of Jared and Ivanka having jobs with the administration at all.
When people go after the Trump family, it's likely to be for something actually wrong that they actually did.
The birther thing is no worse than it was for Barry Goldwater or Ted Cruz. I know you probably think it was racially motivated. I don't nor do I think it amounted to much of anything. As I say the total volume of hate directed against the Trump family has been overwhelming.
The worst of it was this:
"O'Donnell's message on Twitter speculating about Trump's 10-year-old son also linked to a video that received more than 2.5 million views on YouTube since being uploaded Nov. 11.
“Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron Trump might be autistic, and it’s time for people to stop bullying him for his ‘strange’ behavior. Let’s follow Melania Trump and #StopTheBullying,” the video description reads.
Sorry, but you can't come close to that
I don't see anybody here praising Rosie O'Donnell. Nor does she pretend to be a journalist.
And yes, the birther crap about Obama was worse than about Cruz. Cruz actually WAS born in Canada. Obama was born in the US. I have no idea what you're talking about with regards to Goldwater. And yeah, when I see memes about Obama being a Muslim Kenyan, it seems reasonable to conclude that those rumors were racially motivated.
Grab your pearls girls and boys because Fox News wants you to clutch them to show your outrage because woman have control over our reproductive lives. Id have slightly more respect for conservatives if they would stop referring to themselves as pro-life and instead admit to being pro-birth because their concern for that child's health and well-being ends at the start of the 4th trimester.
When you call us other than pro life we will call your side pro abortion on a tit for tat basis. Why be pro abortion in the late 3rd trimester?
Nobody is pro-abortion because no women intentionally gets pregnant just to have an abortion.
3rd trimester abortions only happen to save the life of the mother. Elective abortions end before the 24th week and this bill doesn't change that fact.
Fine, whatever. I guess we can call pro-lifers "pro-stupid" and "pro-lying" because their tired bullshit excuses for why they have to take away women's rights are not only chock full of lies, they're intentionally ignoring facts that put a woman's health at risk which I consider pretty fucking stupid.
But when (if) that happens the people involved will be prosecuted.
Y'all are looking for boogeymen that just aren't there
That was a really dumb thing to say, Wally.
You have yet to prove this hysterical claim.
Why be pro abortion when it comes to late 3rd trimester abortions and ones post birth?
Your side has passed that mile marker before the mid-terms.
Now just known as anti-women
No, it wasn’t. Be pro life not pro abortion!
Anti women? Lol! Women lead our movement. Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America joins Susan B. Anthony List, The Virginia Family Foundation, Students for Life, and other pro-life organizations in holding a press conference this Saturday, February 2, in Lorton, VIrginia, to oppose Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran’s bill allowing abortions up until the moment of birth. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) has not only failed to disavow the bill but went so far as to say that mothers and physicians can discuss a child’s viability post-birth......
Great cartoon which focuses on that open ended wording. The mental health of a woman could be interpreted to mean that she would simply be upset at the prospect of a delivery. Another thing the Court got absolutely WRONG
You are both correct and right on.
Ah yes, another political commentator crawls out to try to boost his ratings. Now some of the ultra-conservatives will have someone who'll tell them what they want to hear rather then the truth, like from someone who actually knows something about the subject. I wonder if the guy in N.Y. can sue this guy for stealing his script?
It has the same misinformation, out right lies, straw man arguments and the exact same talking points and buzz words.
Probably a standard form script from Heritage Foundation.
People who are "pro-life" just think that's a sweeter title then the more accurate "anti-abortion" but these people aren't pro anything, but have a long, long list of anti.
I listened to this governors words on the news radio this afternoon. YES he said that AFTER the child is born, if the mother wants it killed, this law will allow it.......
His own words......
I'm pro choice all the way up to a live child being produced....
Once the child is born and living, it is a helpless human being and deserves protection. it is no longer part of the mother it is a separate human...
What they are describing is allowable under this law is murder plain and simple in my opinion.
What surprises me, is he admitted in on an open mike.....
And they say we are the cruel and heartless bastards.....
The law says they can kill babies.... Straight from the governors mouth....
I can bet that is going to make the campaign advertisements....
What he said was truly bizarre. WTF?
As I understood it, he was speaking of babies born with severe health issues which might not be compatible with life, who would be delivered if an abortion had not been performed before the woman began laboring. In those cases, it would be up to the mother and family if extraordinary measures would be taken to prolong life, much as it would be up to the next of kin if an adult were terminally ill and hadn't left an advanced directive.
I didn't understand this to be about allowing healthy babies or babies with minor health issues to die after birth.
There won’t likely be campaign ads against him as he’s a racist bigot likely to be forced to resign his office.
It isn't a case of taking the baby out back and shooting them or stabbing them in the back of the head, at worst it's just a unplugging of very expensive life support machines or they'd refer to that baby as viable and then there would be no such discussion because it's either her baby or up for adoption.
The idea that while giving birth the woman can decide at that moment to have a abortion or have a "post birth" abortion are such outrageous and idiotic claims that it may have thrown the Gov. off his stride a bit, because the answer to both stupid statements is NO, she CAN'T!!!
Wasn't what he said was more on the lines of that the woman and Doctors have to have a discussion about the fate of the baby, which I take means she keeps it or put it up for a adoption, but I don't imagine execution is one of the options.
He didn't actually say "kill the little bastards if mama don't care" or something like that, did he?
Actually so far he’s refusing to resign and there’s real doubt that they can impeach him over a photo taken almost 35 years ago. So back to his infantacide comments.

You stay on topic. I was talking about Governor Northam.
I've noticed it's pretty easy to eviscerate something when you don't bother with facts and don't invite the other side to the debate
If you can't look at it.....maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't do it !

I assume that since you post in here, you want people to read your comments and think about them. It's kind of difficult when you refuse to use actual sentences and you jump all over the place with capital letters and punctuation. It makes people think that your opinions are as random as your typing, and blow them off.
I don't tumble for anyone. "It Is Me" says what needs to be said and "It Is Me" damn sure won't say what some "Want" to hear !
If you don't understand one of my comments..... Ask before making comment 5.1.4 .
by the way Tessylo ……. Doesn't KNOW !
If you truly think something needs to be said, why not use English?
Heh! "When the Warriors are hungry ... they eat!"
Que' ?
Said the "Fly" to the "Spider".
Talk about what the other poster here said, not about them or their writing style.
Which is why advertisement free sites might be better places for conservatives to freely express conservative political and or religious comments and pictures......
And then who pays the bills?
These sites aren't free to run.
We see how Palin's pay site worked out...
One I’m on stays just small enough in data use to stay free. Another relies on voluntary member donations just like advertisement free Christian radio does.
This has been done to death the last few days but I think the debate has crystallized how little the casual pro-choicer understands about the reality of abortion law. The reality is that America already has one of the most liberal abortion standards in the world. America, with North Korea, China and a few others are only countries in the world that permit elective abortions after 20 weeks. We are already among the abortion extremists of the world.
But that's not good enough, so liberals are pushing for more. Look at Virginia, where abortion is already legal after 24 weeks, and the mother doesn't even have to show her life is at risk. But that bar is too high for the pro abortion extremists, so they want it lowered even further so an abortion can proceed up until birth if a woman merely claims any temporary impairment of her mental health. Yet, whether out of ignorance or dishonesty, the pro choicers falsely claim the mother's life needs to be in danger for a late term abortion. The very words of the statutes we have been discussing destroy that claim. Yer they persist in telling falsehoods that make them feel better. No wonder, the reality of late term abortions is abhorrent, and they don't want to deal with reality.
One of the other little talking points you see is the claim that late term abortions are so rare as to not be worth discussing. The reality is that more abortions are performed after 20 weeks than American are killed in by gun homicides. Tell a liberal so few people are killed by guns that gun control isn't worth talking about. See how well that plays.
Good idea. Hey liberals, so few people are killed by gun violence that there is no point regulating 2nd amendment personal gun rights whatsoever. Got it?
Isn't that the official NRA position?
You tell me! I’m not currently a member there. It is the truth though.
I am not a gun owner yet so I usually only join the NRA when we have a democrat President.
Ok, to take this in the correct context her is the complete quote from the governor.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/lawmaker-at-center-of-abortion-bill-firestorm-elected-as-part-of-democratic-wave-that-changed-richmond/2019/01/31/d4f76ecc-2565-11e9-90cd-dedb0c92dc17_story.html?utm_term=.69e1908173dc
My real qualm with what he said is “done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that’s not viable." What constitutes a severe deformity, and not viable? Is a missing limb considered a severe deformity, and would constitute a fetus not being viable? What about if it has the wrong color eyes? Slightly misshapen features? Wrong sex? Has both sexes? The devil is in the details.
Note, there are cases where they can tell in advance that the baby will be born still born; or w/o fully developed organs that will allow it them to exist outside of the womb. In these instances the woman should not have to carry the pregnancy to term. To do so would be inhumane.
Well stated.
There is no reason for abortion to be regulated by the law
There's also no reason for a woman's abortion rights to be curtailed either.
This 'olde debate' over pregnancy termination has reached a new zenith at this particular time. Courts are being 'weighed' with more conservative/more restrictive ideals as to the interpretations of basic everyday freedoms or choices.
Also there is this. The current debate is waged with little consideration of the debate itself. Instead centering on the flamboyances of the innocent, not quite innocent and the never were innocent.
The real bottom line here is the stark reality that there are men on the right wing who deeply desire to assure the true status of 'the woman' is " the incubator of seed. " Truly amazing that the Malkins', Blackburns', Cheneys', and other so called conservative GOP women humbly tip their heads in subservient acquiesces.
Stepford?
Quislings
talking about little consideration for the actual issue........
Nice piece of partisan hate rhetoric there that doesn't have anything to actually do with the debate does it.....
Preacher heal thyself....
What is it that you have issue with?
Of course 'discounting' the expected knee jerk "Partisan hate rhetoric," spiel?
Your partisan caricature of all republicans..... both male and female...
The rhetoric against pro life females was particularly bitter and vitriolic.
It seems that the precious pro 3rd trimester and post birth abortion governor is a racist bigot being called upon to resign.
How many third trimester procedures are performed annually and what are the reasons those procedures are done?
You really think Planned Parenthood is going to make that public?
All medical procedures are documented. All of them. Names, dates, procedure performed, attending physicians, devices and drugs utilized.
The rewards of fear/suspicion are few.
Not as bitter or vitriolic as the right wings desire of 'forced childbirth' for those who have no desire, interest, financial or personal need.
"Pro Life Females?" Well, get pregnant and have the kid. Show your colors bright and wide.
Maybe if pro-abortion fans didn't defend the concept of murdering an infant moments before birth because they suddenly "have no desire, interest, financial or personal need", we could take them seriously.
Elective abortion ends at 24 weeks and instead of moments before natural birth.
Abortion is not murder, despite your emotional hyperbole.
What ever it is you're trying to prove has little weight.
"Pregnancy termination moments before birth." When and where has this taken place within the United States?
Really can't take the conservatives too seriously. Fetus worship. But cut the children's healthcare, nutrition subsidies, housing, education and the conservatives even relax the rules on clean air and water. Hell, the conservatives just tore up another nuclear treaty.
I personally believe conservatism is disingenuous and dangerous.
More emotionally driven tripe and of course erroneous too, as abortion is not murder, nor is an unborn fetus an infant.
It is exactly that and yes an unborn infant is a real human make or female child 👶.
Not according to the law it's not!
It's only an infant after it's born. Before then, it's a fetus. Simple scientific fact. Look it up! Preferably without your obvious emotional blinders.
Now governor abortion is denying that the racist pics of him from 1984 are really him...
It's the lefts favorite excuse, I the Bart Simpson defense.
While you completely ignore those very words from Trump.
AAH! A "whataboutism" from the left! I
Thought you guys didn't like them at
Perhaps talking to parents that made a 3rd trimester decision would enlighten those who applaud Michelle Malkin's opinion.
Their non-viable baby is delivered (aborted), allowing them time to look upon their child, to hold them, begin the gut retching process of grief.
Unless you've been there or your wife or partner has been how can you have a factual opinion?
