Already preparing for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined abortion activists this week to push for measures to protect abortion on demand.
Cuomo, a Democrat who is up for re-election, signed an executive order Tuesday directing state agencies to make rules forcing health insurers to cover all forms of contraception, including those that may cause abortions, the Journal News reports.
The governor also urged the state legislature to pass a radical pro-abortion bill that would keep abortion on demand legal if Roe is overturned. Surrounded by abortion activists Monday at a rally, Cuomo said the Reproductive Health Act would protect abortion rights in the New York Constitution, according to News 12 Westchester.
Mark my words, they are moving to roll back Roe v. Wade, that is going to be the next move by this president, Cuomo said of President Donald Trump and his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh. They say it. Its not like you have to read the tea leaves.
This is a pro-life justice who I believe, theres no question, will overturn Roe v. Wade, Cuomo added.
The AP reports Cuomo went so far as to urge the state Senate to come back early from its summer break to pass the pro-abortion legislation. The bill passed the state Assembly, but approval seems unlikely in the Republican-controlled state Senate.
You either come back and protect a womans right to choose and respect a womans reproductive health rights, the governor said, WSHU reports. Or the voters are going to say to you in November, Youre with Trump? Well, youre fired from the New York State Senate.
Heres more from the report:
A spokeswoman for the Senate Republicans, Candice Giove, answered Cuomos charges, saying in a statement, that Womens health issues deserve more than political stunts with stolen one-liners from The Apprentice. Giove says the Reproductive Health Act would allow non-doctors to perform abortions and also waters downs rights for pregnant women who are physically abused.

And Giove says Cuomo is so frightened of challenger Cynthia Nixon that its the governor who has drunk the Kool-Aid of radicals and socialists who now control the Democratic Party.
Pro-abortion lawmakers in New York have been trying to pass the radical pro-abortion Reproductive Health Act for years. Already one of the most pro-abortion states in America, New York would be made even more pro-abortion if the law passed. The bill would allow abortions on viable, late-term unborn babies for any health reason, a term so widely defined that basically anything would qualify.
State Sen. Liz Krueger, a sponsor of the bill, previously said the legislation also would allow for taxpayer funding of late-term abortions in many cases.
At the national level, the U.S. Senate soon will begin confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh, who, if confirmed, would become the fifth conservative justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. He would replace moderate Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is retiring.
National pro-life leaders have expressed high hopes for Kavanaugh and the future of unborn babies rights. Kavanaugh has served on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for D.C. for more than a decade, where he developed an extensive record of protecting religious liberty and enforcing restrictions on abortion. Pro-life leaders believe he would do the same on the Supreme Court.
At one point, he demanded that Pro-Life residents leave New York. He’s wired to speak like a jerk, and with Nixon on his tail, pandering to the Left oddly makes sense.
Most bishops seem not to believe that the unborn are persons.
You can do that by executive order?
It’s so nice to see Girly Boy Gov. Cuomo publicly panic insanely.
Sigh.....A big bolt of lightning is going to fry Albany.
“If they can muster enough states to ratify an amendment then that would indeed be a right.”
No, it would be a wrongful and invalid assertion of a fictitious right.
Rights come from God, and there can never be a right to do something of which God disapproves.
“Most bishops seem not to believe that the unborn are persons.”
Was it Saint John Chrysostom who said that the floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bad bishops?
Too bad Cuomo wasn’t aborted.
the 2020 primaries have already begun, and the most deranged whack job will win.
it will be a very close race.
DemocRAT Socialist Going Bonkers. Showing True Colors Before Election.
LOL
You’re right. The state has one of the highest abortion rates in the country.
Honestly, most people don’t murder other people NOT because it’s illegal, but because it’s abhorrent and immoral. We won’t have made progress until the vast majority of people feel the same about abortion. It shouldn’t be a matter of whether it’s legal or not.
Many people turn their backs on the fathers of the babies, dehumanizing them by characterizing them as deserters by default, as though fathers who love their daughters and sons between conception and birth have to be denied.
Consequences affect actions.
Yes, but that's because we are very, very far from where we need to be spiritually. I actually don't believe that all good acts are because of the fear of consequences. I think there are many who want to do what's right, because it's right - not because of perceived consequences for not doing right.
That said, I do believe we need to have consequences for bad behavior in society. Principally because there are too many people who do what they think they can get away with. The Clintons come to mind.

Him and his inept father are divine wrath.
Next they will declare that Democrats are not viable living beings and therefore it is legal to abort them. No /s needed.
