Everyone is outraged over killing babies here. But the context was about babies with such great birth defects that they can't really survive anyway.

2/ I'm not defending abortion or Northam here, I'm defending the principle that whenever anything blows up for being so outrageous that there's probably more context that we aren't seeing. Virtually nothing is as outrageous as social media outrage makes it seem.
3/ Northam's problem here is being a doctor who regularly deals with life-and-death situations with an emotionless response. That's really the source of the outrage, as politicians are supposed to get all weepy in situations like this.
