On Monday the New York State Assembly passed the ‘Women’s Equality Act,’ once again sending the legislation to the New York State Senate.
Last year, despite support in both the Assembly and the Senate for nine of the ten points, the Assembly held the nine points hostage in favor of the abortion-expanding tenth point.
“There is nothing empowering to women about bringing abortion-on-demand up to the moment of birth to New York,” said Lori Kehoe, Executive Director of New York State Right to Life. “In a day and age when females can be killed in utero simply for the crime of not being male, it is a mockery of what our feminist foremothers stood for to try and force this on New Yorkers. Women’s rights must begin in the womb, or women have no rights at all.”
The tenth point of the Women’s Equality Act, the point of contention between the Assembly and the Senate, would expand access to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy for essentially any reason, would allow non-doctors to perform these surgical procedures, and provides no conscience protections for medical professionals opposed to taking human life.
Throughout the second trimester, late abortions can be completed by dismembering the developed unborn child, even when they can feel pain, pulling the baby out piece by piece until the mother’s uterus is empty. After the abortion, the abortionist must reassemble the child’s body to ensure nothing has been left inside the child’s mother.
In abortions that take place later in pregnancy, which would be legalized in New York by the abortion-expanding Women’s Equality Act, often babies are killed by sliding a needle filled with a chemical agent, such as digoxin, into the beating heart, before being delivered.
“Like the majority of New Yorkers, we oppose expanding abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy. We stand strong in supporting the right of every individual to have that first right, the right to life,” added Kehoe. “New York’s daughters deserve better than abortion.”

Ping!
Just when you think it can’t get any worse..... it does.
This is beyond comprehension.
Wow.
Just wow.
Liberals balk at doing this to convicted mass murderers. But innocent, helpless babies? No problemo.
And Liberals like to pretend they have the high ground on Human Rights?
Abortion is legal killing.
IMO God has turned His face away from this nation, and it is richly deserved (as much as it pains me to say that),
This is pure Nazism.
Democrips eventually spread their legs for murder inc.
There was disagreement between the two chambers because it didn't go far enough? Unbelievable.
Yes.
I hear you.
Bob Beckel was orating on how he is against capital punishment 'cause its not covered in the Bible. I wonder under what comma or semi-colon this authority is lurking. Lets ask the SCOTUS they found it in the Constitution.
FULLY COVERED by MengeleCare no doubt
A Satanic legislature with a Satanic governor.
The poor babies don’t stand a chance.
We continue to do this and wonder why our country is having the problems we’re having.
The Judgment Hand of God is upon us.
evil has no heart nor compassion, it is just evil and it steals human soles
They should be made to watch a video of an xray of an abortion. I remember reading about a high ranking PP employee who quit on the spot when she saw one.
