Andrew Cuomo: Trump’s Assault on Abortion Rights Must Be Rejected
NYT ^ | 02/06/19 | Andrew M. Cuomo

Posted on 02/06/2019 1:18:28 PM PST by yesthatjallen

In his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, President Trump attacked the law that New York passed last month codifying a woman’s right to an abortion, and he proposed federal legislation to roll back the protections provided by the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. The president’s diatribe was part of the far-right’s escalation of its assault on a woman’s constitutional rights.

It’s worth recalling that in 1999, long before he ran for president, Mr. Trump described himself as “very pro-choice.” Today he claims to be anti-choice, and he shamelessly courts the religious right to win votes.

Too much of today’s political discourse is extreme. But emotions run especially high when politics and religion intersect — as in the debate about a woman’s right to choose. As a Roman Catholic, I am intimately familiar with the strongly held views of the church. Still, I do not believe that religious values should drive political positions.

I just signed the Reproductive Health Act into law to protect against the Republicans’ efforts to pack the Supreme Court with extreme conservatives to overturn the constitutional protections recognized in Roe v. Wade.

Hey Guv!

Is that because your assault on innocent babies is more virtuous?

And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: all children -- born and unborn -- are made in the holy image of God. - D. Trump, 2019 SOTU

Yeah. That's real controversial.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And Bill Clinton said he was proud to sign the Defense of Marriage Act which said marriage is between a man and a woman. I guess people change.

Cuomo is an MK ULTRA ghoul.
Just look at those eyes..typical MK ULTRA zombie. They all have em.
Not that many years ago, he’d be locked up in an asylum to protect society.

President Trump’s change of heart on the abortion issue could be attributed to becoming a Christian. The picture becomes very clear—there is RIGHT, and then there is WRONG.

The “far-right’s escalation of its assault on a woman’s constitutional rights”

What a bizarro world we live in. Saying “Mothers, you should not murder your babies” is an “escalation on constitutional rights.”

So according to Cuomsoto if a maniac stabs a newborn baby to death he is just considered a late term abortionist?

So..... the abortion subject is an element in the 2020 campaign. The sides have engaged clearly on the plain where the battle will be fought

Cuomo believes this is a winning issue that will get him into the White House.

That's why he's pushing it.

Matthew 18:6 6”If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Your “millstone” is coming, Cuomo. Ask Gov. Gosnell & the Dems of VA how they like theirs.

It's worth recalling that as recently as ten years ago Pelosi and Schumer and Hillary described themselves as being very pro-border wall.
