Abortion Expansion in New York State
Gov. Cuomo recently singed into law the Reproductive Health Act. Many of us contacted him and our state legislators asking them to vote "NO" on RHA. Sadly, RHA is now law in our state.
Every abortion takes a life and harms a woman. But this extreme law legalizes abortion for the entire nine months of pregnancy and even removes protection for the baby born in a failed abortion. It authorizes non-doctors to perform abortions and removes criminal charges for violence against pregnant women. This is a dark time for the unborn, for mothers and for all of us. It is hard to understand why lawmakers chose to legalize late term abortions – even infanticide – when science has proven the humanity of the unborn child.
