On the 46th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the New York State Senate and visitors in the Senate gallery erupted in a celebratory standing ovation when the bill passed that allowed abortions at any stage of pregnancy. The bill also eliminated the requirement that a medical doctor perform an abortion and it decriminalized the mandate to care for a baby born alive after the abortionist failed to kill the child before it exited the birth canal.
The consequences of this law are clear. Organizations like Planned Parenthood will be able to significantly reduce overhead expenses of their abortion clinics. Nurses and Physician Assistants are less expensive to hire than licensed Physicians. A very real consequence to the removal of the mandate to care for a live born baby is that a child born alive could be merely left to die.
The most horrific consequence of this law is that it now gives body part brokers another 3 months to grow a more profitable baby to dissect and sell to the highest bidder. It will happen.
The law also strikes a blow to violence against women. It removed penalties for harming a child in the womb during an assault.
New York resident, Livia Abreu was in her 26th week of pregnancy when her boyfriend stabbed her in the stomach, killing her unborn child. He was charged for assault and the death of her child. Under the new law, there is no crime against the unborn child.
A few days after the New York law, the State of Virginia attempted to pass a similar law. Fortunately during committee deliberations, Republican House Majority Leader asked Delegate Kathy Tran, the bill’s sponsor, directly if the bill allowed an abortion even as the mother was about to give birth.
Tran tried to avoid the question but finally had to acknowledge that the bill did, in fact, allow the killing of the child even while the mother was giving birth. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam revealed more when he described what is happening even now:
“The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. So I think this was really blown out of proportion.”
This has not been blown out of proportion at all. It is very clear that a living child could be left to die, in comfort of course, unless the mother asked that the baby be resuscitated.
Between the Planned Parenthood undercover videos, the standing ovation in the New York Senate, and the debate in Virginia, America is getting a glimpse of the truth. Abortion has raised its ugly head and we recoil in shock. Too many have remained silent for too long.
Some Catholics called for the excommunication of Governor Cuomo. He did not merely sign the bill carrying out his civil responsibility as Governor. He endorsed the bill, pushed for its passage, and sent out a message on social media celebrating its passage and directing that the One World Trade Center be lit in pink.
It is evident that Cuomo is not repentant and shows no indication that he intends to repent. Yet he is very quick to throw on the Catholic mantle when it suits his needs.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan has said that he will not excommunicate Cuomo. It appears that Cuomo will carry on his charade while Cardinal Nolan looks the other way.
It is time to break the silence and directly question those whose silence allows these policies. The plain truth is that there is a clear distinction between the two major political parties on the practice of abortion.
The bill in New York passed this year because Democrats finally gained a majority in the state legislature. For years Republicans blocked such outrageous bills.
The bill introduced in Virginia died in committee along a party line vote. Democrats voted for it, Republicans voted against it.
The Democrat platform calls to overturn prohibitions against taxpayer funded abortions. It calls for support of Planned Parenthood. Republicans, in their platform, are on record against both.
African Americans and Catholics comprise a significant voting block in the Democrat party. African Americans and Catholics oppose abortion.
There is a disconnect that enables the Democrat party to aggressively promote abortion legislation. They have tossed the old arguments of “safe” and “legal but rare” to the side of the road hundreds of miles ago. They watered down requirements for safe medical facilities and licensed physicians.
The “Women’s Health” mantra is a fraud. It is evident that the real interest of Democrats is to increase the profit margins of abortionists like Planned Parenthood.
The traditional Democrat voting blocks do have an influence. Pastors can call out the politicians who lend credence to the culture of death in the abortion industry.
This should not be about partisan politics, but it is. No one can deny the stark truth.
You may be one of those who has always voted Democrat. Open your eyes to the truth of what is happening. It is time to break the silence.
