Governor Andrew Cuomo aims to make New York even more pro-abortion
Live Action News ^ | February 8, 2017 | By Rebecca Downs

New York State, which includes the late-term abortion capital, New York City, is apparently not pro-abortion enough for its Governor, Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).

As the New York Times reported, and as Cuomo himself boasted in an op-ed for CNN, he plans to make contraception and “all medically necessary abortion services” covered “by commercial health insurance policies without co-pays, coinsurance or deductibles.”

That’s the key, but not the worst, of Cuomo’s column. “There is rarely a clear consensus on every initiative. But on the issue of women’s rights, almost all New Yorkers agree: Equality for women — true equality — shouldn’t simply be a goal for 2017. It must be a right,” he claims, including no examples of how abortion and birth control grant women “equality,” as he goes on to write about his pet project of “reproductive rights.” (Incidentally, the idea that women aren’t equal as they are without these things is inherently anti-woman.)

Cuomo has been unsuccessful in chasing out all who disagree with his extreme abortion stance, but many would remember his words from 2014, asserting those who disagree with such a stance on abortion, among other issues, are not welcome in his state. “Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are,” he said at the time.

According to a poll from the Chirascuro Foundation released in February 2013, however, most New Yorkers are in favor of “sensible restrictions on abortions.” This doesn’t exactly line up with Cuomo’s extreme abortion proposals. . .

Great plan if he wants fewer residents and doesn’t mind NY losing more congressmen with that dwindling population….especially if Pres. Trump starts checking on who is legally living in NY and CA.

I think the son of Mario The Pious just aborted what little chance he had at the presidency.

Has Hannity left yet? He’s had plenty of time to follow through on what seemed to me as a promise to not give his livlihood to the Empire State from hell.

Because women aren’t equal until they can kill their offspring just like men can? Wait, how’s that again?

Correct. Cuomo doesn't just display a tolerance for abortion but a disturbing zealotry for slaughtering the unborn. His enthusiasm is sociopathic. This view won't fly in the heartland.

There were 29.6 abortions per 1,000 women in New York in 2014, compared to 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women nationally, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit group that supports abortion rights.

Cuomo: “All those negroes being born. It’s disgusting! It’s intolerable! We need major racial cleansing now!”

The Cuomo Organized Crime Family has a very special place in Hell, reserved for them and their murderous cadre.

Isn’t it interesting how they just love abortion——for everyone else. But, they never kill their own kids. I have a brother-in-law like that.
