Ninety-four (94) Assembly members voted for this horrendous bill (AB 6221).
These legislators demonstrate their receptivity to the pro-abortion groups NARAL and Planned Parenthood, to the propaganda they promote and to the multi-billion dollar abortion business. .
They are certainly not representing the good of the people of NYS and of those who stand up for the Right to Life for the unborn and for women, men and the family.
NYS is already named as the “Abortion Capitol of the Nation”—a nasty and unwelcome title—which is unreflective of the stance of the great majority of New Yorkers.
You need to contact Senator Majority Leader, Senator Skelos, Assembly Leader, Assemblyman Heastie, and your local NYS Senator and Assembly person and let them know that AB 6221 is trash and belongs in the trash bin.
It is not for the good of men and women. It is certainly not for the good of the new life waiting to be born.
Electing good legislators who can be relied upon to help enact good legislation is your responsibility—make your voice heard—your voice and your vote counts!

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY PASSES DANGEROUS
EXPANSION OF ABORTION IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER
ALBANY – Today in a vote of 94-49 the New York State Assembly approved passage of AB 6221, the extreme stand-alone 10th point from the previously packaged 10-point Women's Equality Act, which would expand third-trimester abortions and allow non-doctors to perform abortions. Since 2013, abortion advocates have been holding the Women's Equality Act hostage to this single dangerous bill, refusing to break the 10-point bill up. This session, however, the will of the voters was finally heard, and the stand-alone bills have been considered.
"Expanding cruel and brutal third-trimester abortions has long been a goal of the anti-life lobby who never met an abortion they didn't like," said Lori Kehoe, New York State Right to Life executive director. "With no regard for the fully developed unborn baby who is violently dismembered, or otherwise killed, the New York State Assembly once again put the abortion lobby above New York State women and their children."
AB 6221, sponsored by Assemblywoman Glick, would change existing New York State law, which currently allows for abortion in the third trimester when the mother's life is in danger, to allow abortion on-demand throughout all nine months. The law would be changed to allow abortion for any reason deemed "relevant to the well-being of the patient" including physical, emotional, psychological, and familial factors, and the mother's age.
AB 6221 has no interest in the life of the living, developed, unborn human child, stripping away any protections the smallest members of our human family have.
"We now look once again to the Senate to hold the line in defense of the children which happens to also be in accordance with the will of the rest of the people," added Kehoe. "It is ridiculous that in 2015, with all the technology at our disposal, we are still arguing whether or not an eight month old baby in the womb deserves protection. It is doubtful that our descendants will look kindly upon this period in our history, when we fought for the right to dismember babies weeks, days and even minutes before birth."
New York State Right to Life will be discussing this and other attacks on members of the human family at our free-to-the-public Lobby for Life Day on April 29 at the Legislative Office Building in Albany.
New York State Right to Life is the oldest and largest pro-life organization in New York. An affiliate of National Right to Life, NYSRTL works through education, legislation, and political action to protect the unborn, elderly, and medically vulnerable among us.
