Andrew Cuomo.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is already notorious among pro-lifers for being one of the most pro-abortion politicians in the nation. The state he serves already has one of the highest abortion rates in the country, but he has been continually fighting to make abortion even more widespread and commonplace in New York.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, the abortion extremist publicly proclaimed on the<em> Capitol Pressroom<\/em> that <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.timesunion.com\/capitol\/archives\/203801\/cuomo-extreme-conservatives-have-no-place-in-the-state-of-new-york\/\">pro-lifers are not welcome to live in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You have a schism within the Republican Party. \u2026 They\u2019re searching to define their soul, that\u2019s what\u2019s going on. Is the Republican party in this state a moderate party or is it an extreme conservative party? That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to figure out. It\u2019s a mirror of what\u2019s going on in Washington. The gridlock in Washington is less about Democrats and Republicans. It\u2019s more about extreme Republicans versus moderate Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 You\u2019re seeing that play out in New York. \u2026 The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act \u2014 it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate! Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves. Who are they? <strong>Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that\u2019s who they are and they\u2019re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that\u2019s not who New Yorkers are.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2013, Governor Cuomo made it clear that he wants <a href=\"\/news\/andrew-cuomos-new-york-the-abortion-capital-of-the-world\/\">New York to be the abortion capital of the world<\/a>. New York&#8217;s abortion rate statewide is already almost twice as high as the national average, and in New York City, it&#8217;s even worse. Cuomo&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/GPB19-WOMENS-EQUALITY-ACT-BILL.pdf\">Women&#8217;s Equality Act<\/a>, opposed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalrighttolifenews.org\/news\/2013\/02\/poll-governor-cuomos-proposed-abortion-expansions-too-radical-for-most-new-yorkers\/\">the majority of New Yorkers<\/a>, was defeated last year, but Cuomo has sworn to try to get it passed again in 2014. [Editor&#8217;s Note, 1\/28\/19:\u00a0Cuomo signed the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/four-myths-new-york-abortion-truth\/\">Reproductive Health Act<\/a>,&#8221; effectively legalizing abortion through all nine months for any reason, on January 22, 2019].<\/p>\n<p>That Andrew Cuomo wants there to be more abortions in New York isn&#8217;t a surprise to anyone. That he is so extreme as to say that pro-lifers shouldn&#8217;t even be able to live in his state, simply for believing in the sanctity of life, is truly shocking. To him, evidently it&#8217;s not good enough for abortion to just be legal and widespread &#8211; he thinks that pro-lifers should be not only silenced, but kicked out of the state.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s despicable and disturbing. And while pro-lifers are used to abortion advocates attempting to have them silenced, this takes it to an entirely new and sickening level.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note, 1\/28\/19:\u00a0Cuomo signed the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/four-myths-new-york-abortion-truth\/\">Reproductive Health Act<\/a>,&#8221; effectively legalizing abortion through all nine months for any reason, on January 22, 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is already notorious among pro-lifers for being one of the most pro-abortion politicians in the nation.
