New York Governor Kathy Hochul made her commitment to abortion even more pronounced this week, hosting a Planned Parenthood Day of Action just days after the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hochul said the anniversary \u2013 which legalized the killing of nearly 63 million<\/a> preborn children in the United States \u2013 was something to be celebrated. She praised an effort that would enshrine a \u201cright\u201d to abortion in the state\u2019s constitution<\/a>, while also calling on other states to do the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to make sure that no future governors, no future legislators can ever strip away these rights that we have here in the great state of New York,\u201d Hochul said<\/a>. \u201cWe can thwart what the Supreme Court is trying to do to our nation. We can set them backwards by showing that the power rests on the people and the power occurs at the ballot box in places like New York and every other place where abortion rights have been on the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Hochul and others trumpet abortion as a “right,” there is never any right for a person to kill an innocent preborn human being. Children killed during these violent acts are brutally starved, ripped to pieces, or poisoned to death. These victims, like baby Harriet pictured below, deserve the highest protection of the law, but instead, too many lawmakers are calling for even more deaths.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers in New York have done much in the past two years to demonstrate that abortion is one of their top priorities, including passing legislation that requires chemical abortions to be made available<\/a> on college campuses, requiring health clinics to distribute the abortion pill<\/a> for free, and offering millions<\/a> in funding to abortion businesses around the state.<\/p>\n

State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar told the New York Post that Democrats are making this their primary campaign issue ahead of election season.<\/p>\n
