Fordham on April 2nd (Bronx campus). I am part of a panel which will discuss the bill sponsored by the egregious Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Democrat from Westchester County, called Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act, also supported by the unlamented Eliot Spitzer and now by the hapless David Paterson. This bill would remove abortion law from the criminal code and thus not allow criminal prosecution of an abortionist who kills a woman during a "legal" abortion; it would allow abortions through all nine months of pregnancy and allow the abortionist to determine the viability of the fetus (much like George Tiller in Kansas does); it would allow abortions to be performed on nine months pregnant underage girls without the knowledge or consent of the parents; it would allow Planned Parenthood (under the Healthy Teens Act ) to go into the public schools and teach sex ed. And on, and on, and on. New York City is already one of the abortion capitals of America - it does not need more abortions - it needs more crisis pregnancy centers and more assistance for women to carry to term. This bill is another liberal travesty. I am sure that it would bring a big smile to the face of B. Hussein Obama, the most pro abortion president in the history of the USA. This bill must be stopped. Now that the State Senate is in the hands of the Demcoratic party, there is a real possiblity of its being released from committee for a vote.
