During the signing<\/a> of legislation<\/a> aimed at immediately protecting abortion and abortionists in New York if Roe v. Wade<\/em> is overturned, Gov. Kathy Hochul called pro-life individuals “Neanderthals” and compared herself to the original, leading feminists of the United States. However, those feminists actually opposed abortion and would stand against the very pro-abortion ideas Hochul propagates.<\/p>\n

Feminism is pro-life<\/b><\/p>\n

Hochul spoke to a gathering of abortion supporters in The Great Hall in New York City and compared her work in protecting abortion and abortionists to the work of the strong women who fought for legitimate rights for women and who stood firmly against abortion.<\/p>\n

“This historic venue,” she said, “[…] This Great Hall, the very space we’re in at this moment, played a pivotal role in the advancement \u2014 the long, often twisted journey toward women’s rights \u2014 from that first meeting with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton who challenged the status quo as they had done in other places. Frances Perkins who became a leader in state government when FDR was governor but also went on to define a generation of support for people in their time of need during the Great Depression when FDR became president. So this is the place that women’s voices need to be heard, they have been heard, and after today they will be heard once again. Indeed they will not just be heard, they will roar.”<\/p>\n
