It needs to be stressed that the bill also got rid of any law that was intended to protect the unborn. So, it went WAY past just being a law about abortion.

If an unborn baby is killed in a car accident or when the father stabs the mother to kill the baby - there will be no charges bought against the person who caused the death of the baby.

It is open season on unborn babies. Any man wanting to kill the baby can do it.

This is the most vile law ever written, ever.

Praise God! I’ve been wondering if/when conservatives in NY would do this.

Praying for a YUGE turn out.

A most fitting choice for a "day of repentence"; as February 23 is the Commemoration of Polycarp the Holy Martyr & Bishop of Smyrna on the calendars of Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglicans alike...truly a universal Feast.

"The Martyrdom of Polycarp" written by Ignatius, who, himself would be come a Martyr, includes this prayer uttered by the Saint just before his death:

"'O Lord God Almighty, the Father of Thy beloved and blessed Son Jesus Christ, through whom we have received the knowledge of Thee, the God of angels and powers and of all creation and of the whole race of the righteous, who live in Thy presence;

I bless Thee for that Thou hast granted me this day and hour, that I might receive a portion amongst the number of martyrs in the cup of [Thy] Christ unto resurrection of eternal life, both of soul and of body, in the incorruptibility of the Holy Spirit. May I be received among these in Thy presence this day, as a rich and acceptable sacrifice, as Thou didst prepare and reveal it beforehand, and hast accomplished it, Thou that art the faithful and true God.

For this cause, yea and for all things, I praise Thee, I bless Thee, I glorify Thee, through the eternal and heavenly High-priest, Jesus Christ, Thy beloved Son, through whom with Him and the Holy Spirit be glory both now [and ever] and for the ages to come. Amen.'

Big effing deal. That will not accomplish anything but the same “feel good” nonsense the libtards enjoy. It will not accomplish anything practical. It will not stop one single abortion. If you want to stop this horror, then you have two choices:

1.) Engage in a peaceful tax strike, refusing to file a federal or state tax return, while concomitantly revising your W4 form to take the maximum possible exemptions.

2.) Force of arms.

Those are your only choices.

All else is wasted time and energy.

I should think that 35 years of this protesting tactic has proven its utter futility and ineffectiveness.

Sadly, it would be no surprise if they are physically attacked.

yup just cut and run, don’t fight back, “run away/head in the sand” mentality is how each state is becoming overloaded with dem/socialist folks and laws.

I don’t live in NY, but I support the effort of those standing for truth of fact human lives are being murdered by callous evil abortionists, and this Day of Mourning is trying to do some thing to bring attention, wake people up, change a heart, etc - unlike you who just want to cut and run when going gets tough.

your name doesn’t agree with your comment - if Truth (wins) over power why cut and run when lies are trying to take over a state thru a law?
