New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, a Democrat, has riled conservatives for years, and news of his self-induced downfall has produced "widespread disgust," according to one pro-family group.
Just last month, another conservative group sought prayers to stop Spitzer's pro-abortion crusade.
"More than any governor, Spitzer has tried to destroy the man-woman marriage definition and to license homosexual 'marriages,' Randy Thomasson, president of the California-based Campaign for Children and Families, said on Monday.
"As Attorney General, he harassed pro-life crisis pregnancy centers," Thomasson said, noting that as news was breaking about Spitzer's alleged involvement in a prostitution ring, Spitzer was scheduled to speak to New York's largest pro-abortion organization, Family Planning Advocates. Thomasson said the group supports unlimited tax-funded abortions, without regard to a girl's age or the number of tax-funded abortions in a calendar year.
"Spitzer has embraced anti-family public policies since day one," said Thomasson. "Is it any surprise that his so-called 'private' policies are also destructive to his own family? His immoral practices have made him unfit for public office. It's sad that his wife stood next to him, instead of distancing herself to show her real hurt and disapproval."
Thomasson said a person's character and private life do matter. "What is inside eventually shows on the outside. The reason that America is disgusted with the alleged prostituting lifestyle of Eliot Spitzer is because America's moral compass is still working. Fortunately, the United States has not forgotten how to blush."
'May God intervene...'
Last month, a conservative group made Gov. Spitzer one of its "prayer team targets."
The Family Research Council warned on Feb. 28 that Spitzer was preparing for the possible reversal of Roe v. Wade by pushing for a state law that would declare abortion to be a "fundamental right" for women.
The FRC described Gov. Spitzer as a "long-time abortion advocate who rose to power with support from NARAL and Planned Parenthood."
Moreover, in 2002, while serving as New York attorney general, Spitzer "embarked upon a failed effort to close down New York's Crisis Pregnancy Centers, planning to charge them with practicing medicine without a license." Spitzer was forced to back down under public pressure, the FRC noted.
Then came the FRC's prayer pitch: "May God intervene to stop Governor Spitzer from succeeding in this evil ambition to make abortion a "fundamental right" in New York! May pro-life New Yorkers somehow prevail, even as they did when he pursued Crisis Pregnancy Centers in 2002! May New Yorkers arise and stir their neighbors to understand the consequences of pursuing this course, and may this bill be defeated!" the FRC wrote on Feb. 28.
Well there you go. Bye bye, Spitz.
Some prayers get answered.
Yeah, this joker needed to be stopped.
The guy is an overbearing, over aggressive little liar.
Well, Gov...every bit of your sordid dealings should be leaked to the press and you should get a triple dose of your own medicine.
Then...it's hard time for vice crime.
bttt
Exactly.
Eliot Spitzer lived by the sword. Now he’ll “die” by the sword.
He must have thought he was bullet-proof or made of Teflon.
I can’t think of a better person for all this to happen to.
LOL!
“Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and the door will be answered for you”
Bye, bye Prince Elliot! Don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you!
On another note, I feel very sorry for his wife and children and what they must be going through. His wife looked like she’d been run over by a truck. What was he thinking, to do this to his family!

The Spitzer bill S.5829 is euphemistically called the Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act. It would raise abortion to the level of a fundamental right, like the freedom of speech, and would therefore prohibit virtually any restrictions at all. According to an urgent “news & action update” released by the New York State Catholic Conference and distributed at all masses last week, the act would force doctors to perform abortions; force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions; force health care insurance plans to cover them; force employers to purchase abortion coverage; authorize non physicians to perform abortions, and undermine parental involvement in the life decisions of their children.
In addition, the Conference warns that the state’s civil rights laws protecting doctors and nurses who do not wish to be involved in abortions would be in serious jeopardy. The state’s funding to abortion alternative programs and agencies would be required to cover abortions. Many regard this proposed law as ultra radical and beyond the pale, but when it comes to abortion, Mr. Spitzer has consistently been loyal to the abortion advocates who’ve helped fund his political career.
You got that right. In his statement from yesterday, the key word he used was ‘progressive.’ He is another one of those ‘progressives’ - liberal facist, as a writer recently noted - who believes they can do anything as long as their goal is achieved.
The NY Legislature may decide to consider impeachment, but it won’t be accomplished. The liberal media and liberal elitists in NY will stand by their man. After all is said and done, Spitzer will continue as Governor, and continue to torment anyone who offends him. Because he’s Spitzer.
I believe it. The NYT has already written how they believe he can survive. Approval ratings notwithstanding, his liberal elite friends will see to it he stays.
He’s certainly consistent.
That is exactly what he deserves. A complete airing of his corruption, A-Z, a lengthy prison sentence, and then a life of squalor so that folks can point to him as the icon of what not to be and how a lust for power and dominance can corrupt and destroy.
God works in mysterious ways.............
There’s a saying here in the South... God don’t like ugly.
A LOT of FReepers were praising this slimeball until recently because of his righteous crusades against those evil corporations.
