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."

What a clown.
He thinks he has standing if the federal government changes the health care provisions?
NOPE!
Extraordinary argument since that is what Obamacare has done and continues to do.
"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."
So apparently he believes Planned Parenthood has a constitutionally protected right to taxpayer funding. No, it does not. No entity is "entitled" to taxpayer dollars.
Yes, they are doing a lot of winning in the courts, and a little too much winning in the congress since they are the minority.
I just asked the moderator to delete your appalling response. It’s posters like you that make me embarrassed to refer people to FR, even though there is so much value here.
Honesty, what were you thinking? (Actually, I don’t even want to know. I just want to see your reply gone.)
P.S. I am a New York Jew, and I have been a Freeper since 1998.
This is how the system works asshole...deal with it!
This is the same sniveling little bitch who tried to portray Trump university as a scam.
not to mention the Islamic 12ver shia sect obsession on killing everyone ...
Got it.
Absolutely!! If they lose they'll just tie it up in the courts. Slimeball Bastards.
Yep. I sent my donation in to break away from NYC.
Too much power to give up. Need to turnover the entire Congress to get it done right and that won’t happen anytime soon if ever.
Cuomo makes it three.
You know you’re winning when they don’t stop whining.
Well, they aren’t filing lawsuits against Trump. It’s US vs. And in my opinion Sessions should already be investigating these progressive judges.
Does anyone else think it is funny that the state’s rights groups are again run by Democrats trying to break the county apart?
The flaw in the system is the Judiciary.
They are allowed to have executive and legislative powers at a whim, with no means of checking that power (or they will say “Contempt of Court”)>
“So what?”
So what? So a lefty lacky federal judge simply wipes away any legislation with a wave of his hand. And Congress and Trump just grovel before the opinion, as if it carries weight.
We are far beyond any political solution being sufficient.
Lets take it back to the Supremes.
I have precisely two letters for the NY AG ... F and U!!!
I have HAD it with Leftist Socialists and their ilk since November’s election. I loathed Obama for 8 long years and the Left told me to shut up and take it.
Well Snowflakes ... Shut up and take it!!!
I. Am. Done. With. Them!!!
Good luck with that.
