Never forget that seven democrat lawyers, fifty-one years ago, caused this horrid coarsening of American society from which I doubt it will ever recover.

On April 10, 1970, the New York Senate passed a law decriminalizing abortion in most cases. Republican Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller signed the bill into law the next day. At the time, New York State was a Republican “trifecta”, meaning both chambers of the legislature and the governorship were Republican-controlled. The 1970 law did several things. First, it added a consent provision requiring a physician to obtain the woman’s consent before performing an abortion. Second, it permitted physician-provided elective abortion services within the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, or to preserve the woman’s life. Third, it permitted a woman, when acting upon the advice of a duly licensed physician, to perform an “abortional act” on herself within the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, or to preserve her life. New York was the second state, after Hawaii, to enact landmark abortion law legislation. Unlike Hawaii, however, New York’s abortion law did not have a 90-day residency requirement.
Between 1970 and 1973, the New York General Assembly attempted to repeal their law that made abortion legal. Governor Rockefeller successfully vetoed the repeal attempt.
In 2012, New York City reported abortions (31,328) outnumbered live births (24,758) for black children. Black and Hispanic abortions combined (54,245) account for 73% of the total abortions in the city in 2012, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Vital Statistics. In 2013, among white women aged 15–19, there were 2,660 abortions, 5,860 abortions for black women aged 15–19, 4,670 abortions for Hispanic women aged 15–19, and 760 abortions for women of all other races.
