You\u2019ve got to allow the next thing after that.\u201d (Steven Green, Right Angle, Feb 6\/19)  Green\u2019s observation was inspired by the state of Virginia\u2019s proposed Bill HB-241 allowing late-term abortions up to the point of birth and, warns Danielle, to \u201cwhat amounts to infanticide.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Left is a train wreck of competing ideas that one day will fall in upon itself like a house of cards,\u201d predicts Robert.
