NY Governor Says Abortion and Gay Marriage Keys to Revitalize State

Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer has proposed legislation that would eliminate gender from the legal definition of marriage and make denying a marriage license to homosexual couples illegal. He has also pledged to strengthen the state’s abortion laws, “to ensure that New Yorkers’ access to abortion will not be infringed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent errant decision to uphold the ban on partial birth abortion procedures.”

Spitzer cited the anticipated fiscal benefits of these measures as a strong ancillary rationale for the legislation. “Aside from the fact that sodomy and abortion are among the ‘unalienable rights’ guaranteed by our nation’s Constitution, there are significant economic benefits to our state from this legislation,” Spitzer asserted. “Homosexuals tend to have above-average incomes. Attracting more of them to New York will help boost state tax-yields. In addition, the absence of children in same-sex marriages and the reduction in birth rates due to more freely available abortions will lessen fiscal pressures on our public schools.”

The Governor’s “Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act” would expand the current health clause to permit abortions late in pregnancies. The bill’s “re-in-vitro” section would give women the right to abort fetuses up to 30 days after “full emergence,” provided dilation of the birth canal sufficient to allow reinsertion of the fetus’ head could be achieved.

“Motherhood is not an easy job,” Spitzer remarked. “A woman shouldn’t be forced into it by arbitrary deadlines. Allowing a ‘test-drive’ is just common sense.” Spitzer called the 30-day period in the bill “a reasonable compromise, given current technology. There’s only so much modern medicine can do.” Spitzer said he felt confident that “a broader range of options on the timing would be available in the future,”

In related news, Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), are pushing the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which they say would preserve a woman’s health by “safeguarding her ability to make reproductive health care decisions free from interference.” “No right is more fundamental to a woman than the right to abortion,” said Boxer. “No court, no legislature—NOBODY—should be allowed to interfere with this right.”

“Keys to Revitalize State”? That is hilarious. His revitalization plan involves policies that, if carried out completely, would entirely depopulate his state. Then who would vote for idiots like Spitzer?

Will you please stop posting these things inside threads? They deserve their own threads so people don’t miss out on them.

They are really good

O.M.G. I just felt a cold chill deep in my gut.
God help us!

The remarks by Spitzer and Boxer made me sick. When did these people lose their love for life. If a newborn doesn't make a person smile, the heart must be barren. Boxer has always demanded abortion as the first choice. Thank God there are many women who honor life.

I can only say that I am excited to see the Lord’s answer to these murderers. What they will experience for eternity, while the babies are in heaven, will be constant burning beyond any imagination. I admit I take a bit of comfort in that knowledge. Evil will writhe forever in it’s own doing.

Is this a joke and I just missed it?

When Shitzer was AG he tried to shut down Crisis Preganancy Centers. I guess they’re lethal to abortion mills.

I am very confused - what are they talking about? Letting the baby actually crown and then shoving it back in to kill it??? This is infanticide plain and simple. If any “mother” is so ambivalent to go to near term and then want an abortion, what about just having the kid and giving it to someone who wants it? This is so sick ....The Dems are clearly over on the Dark side with Satan. This is way beyond evil.

Killing off the population is the key to revitalization.

I thought this headline was a joke.
