New York bill would force all public colleges to offer free abortions

NEW YORK, December 10, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A proposed law in the state of New York will make it compulsory for all public universities to provide abortion pills to students at the taxpayers’ expense.

State assemblyman Harvey Epstein of the East Side of Manhattan introduced the bill to the New York State Assembly on November 25. The bill states:

"Each public college student health center shall make available to all students abortion by medication techniques onsite. This service shall be provided by medical professionals on staff at such student health centers or by a third party who has contracted with a university to provide such medical services."

The new proposed law would also create what it calls the “public college student health center abortion by medication fund.” This fund would receive both taxpayer and private contributions.

The abortion pill – “medication abortion” or “chemcial abortion” – is actually two pills, one to deprive a developing pre-born baby of the nutrition he needs and then one to induce contractions. The first pill is mifepristone, the second misoprostol. Chemical abortions are used on babies younger than nine or 10 weeks old.

Michele Sterlace-Accorsi, executive director of Feminists Choosing Life of New York, told WROC News 8 that the proposed law fails to give expectant mothers genuine support.

“What it doesn’t help finance are campus child care centers, any kind of desperately needed prenatal care,” she said. “These are the impediments that interfere with women’s ability to carry unplanned pregnancies to term, to choose life for their children and also have a career.”

It is wrong to turn universities and colleges into healthcare providers.

Will they do the right thing and offer free abortions to transgender women also?

It’s time we start considering aborting politicians. Shove a shiv in the back of their heads and shop vac their brains out....probably could even use a car vac since they are not that big.

The evil bastards know that forcing it down everyone’s throats will keep their satanic sacrament going.

Higher ed and the rest of the education system has been bastardized, they are now abortion clinics, mental health facilities, propaganda indoctrination and social justice engineering centers, and diversity PC factories. If you came here for an education.............

It’s time to deduct the minuscule amount that each taxpayer would pay from our state taxes. It wreaks havoc at the state equivalent of the IRS.

Of course NY State will come after you and you’ll hate that, but it might be time to fight back for the littlest ones.

Some lefty said nothing makes him happier than when he makes pro-life people pay for abortions. Let’s not let him have that in NY State.

Don’t forget: It’s what stopped the Vietnam War. Nothing else would do it. Just saying. People were even subtracting small amounts that went for federal tax from their phone bills.

I thought Vietnam was stopped when the North sued for peace following Nixon’s non-stop bombings.
