\"ultrasound\"With Governor Andrew Cuomo still pursuing his plans for easier\u00a0access\u00a0to third-trimester abortions, New York Catholic bishops were prompted to meet with him on Tuesday in Albany. The bishops of the New York State Catholic Conference lobbied for two days in response to Cuomo\u2019s controversial push on abortion, but it came without the infamous Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), who was still in Rome for the Papal Conclave that recently elected Pope Francis. However, Dolan did offer some words on his blog<\/a>, saying that he is with his \u201cbrother bishops in spirit\u201d in supporting \u201creal choices for pregnant women and girls\u201d with regards to abortion.<\/p>\n

The Catholic delegation is attempting to persuade Governor Cuomo to withdraw his efforts to alter state law for abortion expansion in New York, even if Roe v. Wade<\/em> is overturned at the federal level.<\/p>\n

Cuomo has focused on abortion and other related issues strongly from his State of the State address earlier this year, stating that \u201cit is not a man\u2019s world in New York \u2014 not anymore.\u201d But after discussing with the bishops on Tuesday, Cuomo spokesman Matthew Wing has said he \u201calways enjoys meeting with the bishops. They agree on some issues, and disagree on others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have different perspectives,\u201d Bishop Hubbard said after having a discussion<\/a> with the governor in his office. \u201cHe\u2019s looking at it from the perspective of the man who has to look at the law of the land, and we\u2019re looking at it from a moral perspective. And whether these two can come together remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean Skelos, a Senate Republican leader, and New York State\u2019s Conservative Party say Governor Cuomo\u2019s bills regarding abortion would legalize abortion until the day of birth.<\/p>\n

Melissa Ohden<\/a> of Kansas states, who survived a saline abortion, explains that “[p]artial-birth abortion is an abortion method created specifically to ensure that ‘mistakes’ like me don’t happen again. I come to speak for the children. I am the voice for the voiceless. While the governor promotes ‘women’s equality,\u2019 he neglects equality and justice for the infants.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is problematic when numerous \u201cCatholic\u201d politicians in office continue claiming to be in good faith when they\u2019re pushing for abortion, especially in the third trimester, which clearly contradicts Catholic teaching. Governor Cuomo, John Kerry, Joe Biden, and others who claim to be authentically Catholic should learn that there is no such thing as being “personally pro-life.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
