New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) warned Congress on Friday that he would file a lawsuit to protect abortion rights if the Senate passes the House GOP's healthcare bill.
In an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett, Schneiderman attacked the bill, called the American Health Care Act, as "bad public policy."
"It doesn't protect people with pre-existing conditions, it will cost millions of people healthcare," he said.
Schneiderman said that the bill in its current form is unconstitutional due to attacks on "prohibited state funding."
"In a tricky way, [it] tries to wipe out Planned Parenthood," he said. "It's an effort to kill off Planned Parenthood, which would impose an undue burden on women's Constitutionally-protected rights."

Winning
So what?
So.....elections only count if the Pinkos win.
Got it.
And he’ll lose - as Justice Roberts sez “If you don’t like the legislation, change it at the ballot box”
Oh who am I kidding. They’ll find a right that abortion must be paid for by the government all the time and can never ever get rid of benefit programs.
And he’ll probably win in the lower courts...
The democRAT obsession with killing babies is on a par with the Nazi obsession with killing Jews and the communist obsession with killing Kulaks ...
oh - and to add - I don’t see this twit saying the government should provide guns for all citizens as requiring private purchases of guns is an undue burden on citizens 2nd amendment rights...
Thought it might be a good idea.
He is being threatened by all of that and the Clintons, Schumers and other ‘unimportant liberal idiots’ of New York...
The pattern of the Trump years takes hold...the Left will hold up every policy (yes, including tax cuts), whether passed by Congress or by Executive Order, in the courts. As long as they successful, they will do it all the way to foreign policy. No limits. Fight to the death...they will.
Hope the Supreme Court can take all these cases swiftly, otherwise four years will be gone in a flash.
LOL, too bad he doesn’t appear to be one of the Obama appointees he can fire! That would have been fun...
Who knew. It must fall under a "penumbra" of rights...
There have been some interesting articles this past week how Judge Gorsuch is really shaking up the SCOTUS...good for him!!!
I don’t worry about an ‘unimportant State A.G. like this one’...he couldn’t do in 20 years what Rudy did to clean out New York in 5...
“women’s Constitutionally-protected rights” Eric Schneiderman Esq.
If abortion is “protected” by the Constitution, then it must be mentioned in the Constitution.
Counselor, where is a “right” to kill unborn children mentioned in the Constitution?
If you can’t find it there, then where is the obiter dictum, or secondary authority, where the framers made it clear that they wished to “protect” a woman’s “right” to abort her baby?
He’s an idiot. Must be planning on running for governor some day.
There are ‘some’ that said when the author of the Roe vs Wade died, that Roe vs Wade will die also...I’m just waiting...
You CANNOT be a Christian and believe in abortion...
The man is an ass.
The commie scum are like fire ants ... wherever they impose themselves they soon start demanding their way on the highway.
It was foolish of people in days past to ever think of the left as anything but worthy of defeat. Compromise with progressives is still progressivism.
