NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushes bill allowing abortions after 24 weeks
The Examiner ^ | January 20, 2013 | Howard Portnoy

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo made headlines last week by cramming a gun law through the state legislature that is so restrictive that it limits the amount of ammunition members of law enforcement can carry on the job. Clearly, though, New Yorkers ain’t seen nothing yet. Cuomo’s next act, addressed in a news conference on Saturday – pushing through the 6-year-old Reproductive Health Care bill – if accomplished, will represent the biggest assault on the liberties of residents conceivably in the Empire State’s 236-year history.

The National Catholic Register (h/t Weasel Zippers) notes that the bill has become a facet of the governor’s own “10-point ‘women’s equality’ agenda, which includes a raise in the minimum wage, tougher anti-housing discrimination laws and measures against domestic violence and sex-trafficking.”

The most stunning part of the legislation, however, is its removal of criminal penalties for abortions after 24 weeks by adding a broad health exception. Currently, late-term abortions are allowable when carrying the fetus to term poses a danger to the mother’s life.

The article quotes Chris Slattery, director of the pro-life Expectant Mother Care (EMC) pregnancy centers in New York City, who says, the new law will make the city the late-term abortion capital of the world...

I expect Cuomo will push a bill for ending a life 24 weeks after birth one of these days.

There is no medical reason to perform such an abortion. If the mother’s health is in danger, a C-section can be performed with the goal of saving both lives.

How anyone can claim to be for women’s rights and yet support the exploitation of women for gross profit makes no sense.

Apparently, murder is perfectly acceptable in the people’s republic of new york as long as you don’t do it with an 11 round magazine.

Ban guns that cha ho;d more than 7 rounds but allow the murder of babies viable outside the womb. Screwtape is writing a letter home about this.

Trash the Second Amendment and then go after that pesky, Declaration of Independence “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” thing. Little Andy isn’t much into the unalienable rights of the American people, is he? Why do we need rights when we’ve got welfare, right Andy?

But only the lives of the innocent not the convicted and guilty.

the term “hypocrite” is tossed around so much when speaking of today’s libtard dictators.

not unfairly, just so appropriately.

I hear Cuomo has a 70% approval rating.

Pure evil.

He’s saving the children. If they are slaughtered in the womb the evil “assault weapons” can never harm them.

Call me judgmental, but Cuomo’s despicable. I’ll pray for him.

It's just a "mass of cells" at 24-weeks.

Honest.

If Cuomo is Catholic why isn’t he excommunicated by now?

I agree. I've heard that some of the environmentalists have said that Mother Gaia can only really support 2 billion of us, and you know how they just hate it when humanity stands in the way of their "progress". After all, Utopia is only possible if you can eliminate human nature, which pretty much means eliminating humans.
