This state is New York, and its Governor Cuomo himself has headlined efforts aimed at legislation so brash, it would make some abortion rights advocates blush.<\/p>\n<p>The abortion lobby spends so much time fighting the pro-life laws that are constantly being filed that it has little time to spearhead its own. Elizabeth Nash of the Guttmacher Institute admits the following in a recent <em>New York Times<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/02\/17\/nyregion\/cuomo-bucks-tide-with-bill-to-lift-abortion-limits.html?hp&amp;_r=0\">article<\/a> on the subject: \u201cPretty much all of the energy, all of the momentum, has been to restrict abortion, which makes what could potentially happen in New York so interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInteresting\u201d? Here\u2019s the scoop on what Cuomo has in mind; judge for yourself whether it\u2019s \u201cinteresting\u201d or appalling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allow \u201chealth care practitioners\u201d to perform abortions, instead of only physicians.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Abortions performed by a <i>physician<\/i> are so dangerous that even doctors kill women instituting them. Does the governor really love abortion so much that he is willing to put the lives of more women into the hands of even <i>less<\/i> qualified people just to further a pro-abortion agenda masquerading as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/2013\/womens-equality\">pro-woman<\/a>\u201d legislation?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allow late-term abortions &#8211; at present allowed only to save the life of the mother &#8211; to be performed on any woman deemed eligible on the basis of \u201chealth,\u201d which includes socioeconomic reasons. Essentially, New York would be legalizing abortion on-demand at <i>any <\/i>point in pregnancy and for <i>any <\/i>reason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New York already has a mind-blowing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/02\/04\/nyregion\/04abortion.html?pagewanted=all\">abortion rate<\/a> and is considered the abortion capital of the country. A push to increase the numbers is abortion-rights activism in its most audacious form.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life New Yorkers disagree with Cuomo\u2019s ideas. Daniel Genn, a recent college graduate who teaches high school in upstate New York, is dismayed by the governor\u2019s plan. \u201cThis action on the side of the governor presumes to say that women have a right to abortion and that the state has the obligation to provide women with the ability to provide them with the means to fulfill this action,\u201d he said. \u201cBut in actuality, the most fundamental right is the right to life, and the children in the womb have that right above all. The state should be primarily concerned with protecting that right of those unborn women in the womb.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a New Yorker who disagrees with Governor Cuomo\u2019s war on women, consider <a href=\"http:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/contact\/GovernorContactForm.php\">contacting<\/a> his office to voice your concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They&#8217;re not even pretending they want it to be &#8220;rare&#8221;
