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.
Status Cuomo is falling all over himself to show how evil he truly is.
Dolan has certainly come down on the left side of the equation of late, particularly with respect to the illegal alien “family separation” canard.
Wait... I thought Liberals were frantic at the thought of children being separated from their mothers.
Where is his pastor? Where are his bishop and cardinal to excommunicate him? Millions of dollars for page after page of arcane dogma, but not one cent for enforcement of their rules.
But when he dies he will be given a funeral to rival the Pope's.
Did Cuomo abort any of his kids? I guess it is good for everyone, but him.
“Liberals LOOOOVE dead babies.”
Particularly if they are inconvenient, from a poor family, the wrong race, or thought to be disabled.
Good! That’s the way its supposed to be! Federalism up in this female dog!!
Pffft!! They worry about the children that are alive and will be voters for life won’t they? Those illegals...pfft!
So adding the right to abortions in the State Constitutions appears to be the correct method allowing it per the 10th Amendment.
It still does not make it right. Advocates on both sides should work on a constitutional amendment to specifically allow or ban. (don't think either could happen, but then Prohibition once passed)
There are many areas in the US where you'd have to drive for hours to find an abortionist. And some areas even in New York State (mostly rural areas, it's true) are 100 miles from an abortionist. Check out this map:

These 27 cities have no abortion clinic within 100 miles:

Don't give up. It is absolutely possible to protect pregnant mothers and their babies from the wretched violence of abortion --- even in New York.
[This is a pro-life justice who I believe, theres no question, will overturn Roe v. Wade, Cuomo added. ]
Do these idiots even listen to themselves? Pro-life, how horrible.
How does Cuomo - who claims to be a Roman Catholic - rectify his anti-life sentiments with his religion???
All political posturing nothing more.
If sacrificing to Molech is THAT important, why not pass a Constitutional Amendment: “Killing kids between conception and 3 years after birth is legal and possibly admirable.”
Might be hard to get the votes, though. Which is what the Supreme Court has ALWAYS been about for liberals - forcing others to submit to ideas that cannot get the votes to pass.
Did he legalize HOMICIDES,too? If you didn’t, Cuomo, why not...you are legalizing it for babies, why not for everybody..
Feinstein likes Cuomo’s Catholicness.
Sorry I could not finish the thought. She likes Cuomo’s Catholicness because it is non existent.
Evil
Is as evil does
