While all attention has been focused on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s gun grab, his push for a massive expansion of abortion in the state has slipped under the radar. LifeSiteNews has the details.
By promoting one of the most expansive abortion bills in American history, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has opened a civil war on two fronts: with his church and with elements of his own party.
Cuomo is pushing for a massive expansion of access to abortion in the state, including lifting restrictions on third-trimester abortions, allowing non-doctors to perform the procedure, and enshrining a fundamental right to “terminate a pregnancy” in New York state law.
Democrats for Life of America deemed the proposed bill “the most sweeping abortion legislation in the nation.”
The Democratic governor introduced the bill to cheers during his January 9 State of the State address, shrouding it in the name of “women’s equality.”
“The abortion language would allow late-term abortions, allow non-doctors to perform abortions, and supersede any reasonable restrictions such as parental notification,” the group stated.
“It is out of touch with the views of most Americans, out of touch with the views of most Democrats, and could hamper real reform for women’s rights,” the Democratic group concluded.
The Catholic Church isn’t happy about it either.
With his proposal Cuomo, a Roman Catholic, predictably ran afoul of his Church and its teachings. Both Abp. Timothy Dolan and the New York Catholic Conference blasted the measure.
“I am hard pressed to think of a piece of legislation that is less needed or more harmful than this one,” wrote the Archbishop in a letter to Governor Cuomo.
“As we have discussed in the past, we obviously disagree on the question of the legality of abortion, but surely we are in equally strong agreement that the abortion rate in New York is tragically high,” he wrote.
“There was a time when abortion supporters claimed they wanted to make abortion ‘safe, legal, and rare.’ Yet this measure is specifically designed to expand access to abortion, and therefore to increase the abortion rate,” he added.
Is there anyone out there who still believes Cuomo is a centrist?


When will someone in the Catholic Church EXCOMMUNICATE this man? What’s it going to take?

If an expansion of late term abortion isn’t enough to do it, I don’t know what is.

Face it Dolan you won’t do a damn thing about it. Time to hang up the collar and find a new occupation.

Secular utopian Andy binCuomo is working “progressively” to make sure your young female child is controlled by the government of sharia and isolated. His farce “Reproductive Health Care Act” of abortion on demand is draconian as he is a dinosaur of destruction. He is promoting the destruction of the family relationship, statutory rape / child abuse / and sex trafficking of minors. He is working in conjunction with the federal secular-marxists at HHS. NY already allowed Social Services or Planned Parenthood to come into Public Schools and take your underage child for an abortion, provide a chemical abortion, or contraceptive services when menses have begun, as early as nine years old, without parental consent or notification. It’s for the children dontchano when Andy wants to add 300 more hours to the public school year-NOT.
New NY Bill S1684-2013 attempts to establish parental consent and notification again, but other attempts have failed.
We already have EEOC. Equal pay for equal work with equal opportunity of advancement already exists as do sexual harassment prosecutions, both frivolous and legitimate. Andy is the repugnant one. Human trafficking is already illegal; he did nothing as NY AG. As former Clinton HUD Secretary, he should know there are laws against discrimination as we have many single women with their children living in social services housing. After all, his GSEs and networking comrades have exorbitantly profited.
Andy is choosing to join the federal attack on Catholic hospitals, schools, charities, ministries, religious freedom, and females. Tethering the heinous ABORTION ON DEMAND to feel good legislation for women that already existed is another back-door maneuver. Andy doesn’t have the courage to allow the NY voters to have a say in the legislation. His networking sleazes have too much money to make off the extermination of life. Promoting NY as a business for tourist abortion as a “green job” is incomprehensible. He is a mass-murderer of children, and there was no gun involved.

I guess the “if we can only save one life…” argument only applies when it is part of the gun restriction debate. WE can easily save 500 lives a day in America by banning abortions.

McLaughlin went ahead and released the list:
“Here it is. This is the video where I was asked to keep the Democrat proposals for the NY SAFE Act away from the public. This list was given to me by a colleague and it is not confidential.
This bill was an attack on the 2nd amendment and the Democrats clearly wanted to dismantle the work of the Founding Fathers. None of these amendments were included in the final bill thanks to us fighting back. I will not stand silent while these unpatriotic proposals are pathetically thrown at us a 11 o’clock at night:
1. Confiscation of “assault weapons”
2. Confiscation o ten round clips
3. Statewide database for ALL Guns
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder’s information to be replaced to the public
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than 5 rounds or pistol grips as “assault weapons”
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to 5 and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines
7. Limit possession to no more than two (2) magazines
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years
11. State issued pistol permits
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons”

Notice that ThinkProgress is now calling it “Gun Safety”.
Anybody care to keep an eye on whether this change of words makes it into the rest of the media ?

His live-in girlfriend is Sandra Lee of Food Network’s “Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee.” I used to like and respect her. She had a horrible childhood and rose to success in spite of it. But now I have no respect for her. If she’s in love with a such a scumbag who pushes the slaughter of innocent pre-born humans, then she is just as bad as him, in my opinion. Here are a couple links to the happy couple: http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/sandra-lee-the-woman-in-white/#1

January 22 is the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade – after 40 years “wandering in the desert” of abortion, it’s time for an Exodus from the desert into the “promised land” of a country that puts an end to abortion (and de-funding Planned Parenthood is a good place to start!) http://www.know7things.com/sin.html
