NY bookstore owner closes for ‘day of mourning’ in protest of abortion law

One small business owner in New York is making headlines for his stance against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Reproductive Health Act, which was made official on the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion throughout the United States. The Act, as previously reported by Live Action News, “expands abortion for virtually any reason through the third trimester” even allowing abortion on viable babies for financial reasons. Insurance carriers will now be required cover abortion and non-physicians may commit abortions. The law even rescinds protections for babies born alive during an abortion, and will not treat preborn victims of violence as homicide victims.

Jon Speed, owner of The Book Scout in Syracuse, expressed great sorrow over the governor’s decision and chose to close his bookstore. He posted a sign that reads, “CLOSED TODAY. Today is a day of mourning in New York State. We will not collect sales tax today for a tyrannical government that murders babies. We will resume regular business tomorrow, collecting sales tax under duress. End Abortion Now.”

A brave thing to do in NY, even if it is Syracuse.

“New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Reproductive Health Act”

So many words needed to disguise one word: infanticide.

Yes. I foresee his business being boycotted right out of business, by some radical “women’s rights” protestors.

VERY SAD

Time to scream for a referendum.

My God, what has happened to our sense of morality. This is the legacy of the Dem Party.

Thank God Hillary is not President. She and Cuomo scripted this law together.

Remember her...abortion would be rare statement.

Waiting to see if New York punishes this business. An objective person wouldn’t see a reason, but we now live in a time where an allowance for a differing viewpoint is a blip in the rear view mirror.

I can’t even fathom this...I heard this morning that Cuomo lit up WTC in pink to celebrate this new law.

The laughing and applause was disgusting.

The Empire State should be renamed the Infanticide State.

Time to change all the License Plates.

How come nobody is challenging this in the courts. Look how fast libtards head to court when a state governor signs a law protecting innocent children from abortion.

Overturning Roe v Wade would simply turn the abortion issue back to the states. This is the logical outcome.

We need a constitution amendment to recognize that life begins at conception.

Utterly depraved. I don’t know what else to say. My heart is sick from this.

A nice gesture but talking to the pro-murder book readers who come into your store and telling them they are murdering babies may work better in the long run.

FYI: Approx 100,000 New Yorkers are aborted every year - for every 1,000 black babies born alive, 1,180 are aborted.

I haven’t heard a word of protest from that (rude word for fornicate) head in Rome. Have you?
