New York Gov. Cuomo’s ever-escalating pro-abortion campaign
National Right to Life ^ | July 12, 2018 | Dave Andrusko

Yesterday we posted about uber-ambitious New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is furiously trying to out-promise a fellow pro-abortion Democrat running for governor in his commitment to extending , amplifying, and expanding abortion.

Cuomo holds a press conference Monday warning state Senate Republicans to immediately reconvene to pass the “Reproductive Health Act” which is even more radical than Roe. If not, he threatened, voters will send Senate Republicans packing. (The state Assembly is safely in the hands of pro-abortion Democrats.)

Tuesday gubernatorial rival Cynthia Nixon does Cuomo one better at her rally. Waving a coat hanger (these people are nothing if not original), Nixon tells her supporters, “We must fight like hell in New York and across the country to preserve Roe vs. Wade so that no woman will ever feel compelled to use something like this on herself again.”

Not to be outdone, on Wednesday Cuomo announces if Roe v. Wade is overturned, he’ll sue the federal government.

The North County NPR station offers this insight:

It was not immediately clear what the legal basis for a lawsuit would be. Spokesman Rich Azzopardi said only that the administration “will seek to protect the fundamental constitutional right of women under both state and federal law.”

Of course, there isn’t any “legal basis,” but facts (or truth-telling) are not Cuomo’s strong suits.

Cuomo, by the way, did say (according to Karen DeWitt) that

before legal action can begin, the state first needs to approve a measure to codify the landmark 1973 decision into state law. It was the governor’s third day of campaign-style rallies to promote the bill, known as the Reproductive Health Act.

This is another illustration of how he packages things. The Reproductive Health Act (which the GOP-led Senate has stopped) is not at all what Cuomo packages it to be. According to New York State Right to Life

Governor Cuomo’s vilifying and bait-and-switch tactics continue to escalate in pitch and tone to obscure examination of the actual provisions of the so-called “Reproductive Health Act,” which by no means is about “codifying Roe.” The Reproductive Health Act is a radical abortion-any-time-for-any-reason bill which would preclude and even repeal sensible limits on abortion, something the Governor knows Americans and New Yorkers do not support.

Is Cuomo a Catholic? If he is even nominally Catholic, then why hasn't he been ex-communicated?

Where are the feminists screaming that Cuomo has no business voicing an opinion on abortion? I thought only women are allowed to.

All abortions should be illegal, with one exception that would allow both sides to live within the law:
Free abortions to any woman who, in the last General Election for President, was a registered Democrat.

Free? Better forced abortions on that type.

cuomo, and all democrat politicians, have sold their souls to the radical man-hating feminazis. They know full well that the wrath of the fangtooth witches is not to be toyed with, and that they always get their revenge.
Apparently, the wrath of feminazis is more to be feared than the fires of hell.

I can only pray that there will be a private phone conversation where Cardinal Dolan himself will say, “Listen up you ratfaced a**hole, lighten up on this abortion crap you little s**t or I’ll excommunicate you myself.”

All of the Cuomos are a disgrace to the Church that raised them and educated them for free. May they burn in Purgatory for a long time before yhey see the Face of God! (Insert me here, putting the horns on all of them!)

Because the Bishops and Cardinals have no balls. They gave them to Satan on a silver platter.

“Not to be outdone, on Wednesday Cuomo announces if Roe v. Wade is overturned, he’ll sue the federal government. “

If you’re so strongly pro-abortion, amend the Constitution. You know? Make a stand in all the state legislatures and both houses of Congress, and see what becomes of it. Go on. I double dare ya.

According to Gilligan Island castaway, Thurston Howell III, the highest tribunal is not the Supreme Court. It is the New Port Sound Yacht Club Rules Committee.
