Kathleen M. Gallagher, Director of the Catholic Advocacy Network for the NYS Catholic Conference in Albany sent a fact sheet they developed in analyzing the Governor's extreme abortion plans for our State. They suggest everyone copy and distribute the sheet, along with information on how to contact your state representatives to oppose this legislation. For more information on this proposed bill contact the NYS Catholic Conference at 518-434-6195; fax 518-434-9796; or use this link New York State Catholic Conference - The Official Public Policy Voice of the Catholic Conference of the Empire State.
Sometimes bills like this are "loaded", i.e., they have a fair share of outrageous proposals, hoping that compromise leaves them with much of what they want anyway. Everyone will agree there is nothing in this bill that is good for women or for the child in the womb or for people of faith or for victims of violence or for the medical profession or the criminal justice system or for citizens of New York.
