This is from Carol Crossed, a member of Democrats for Life of NY. Not every NY Assembly Democrat supports the culture of death.
You may have heard that our NYS Assembly decided to break up the Governor’s “Women’s Equality Act” and vote on the individual pieces. Great news – great victory! While the stand-alone abortion bill got an Assembly vote yesterday, it will not receive a Senate vote.
As expected, the stand-alone late-term abortion expansion bill did passin the Assembly. The vote was 95 to 51.
The exciting news is that nine Democrats voted against the abortion expansion bill: Colton, Crespo, Gjonaj, Goldfeder, Hikind, Kearns, Miller, Schimminger and Simanowitz. (There would have been 10 with Michael Cusick, but he was excused as he was having emergency surgery.)
Ten pro-life voting Democrats is still a pretty high number in an environment that is highly politically polarized.
Let’s send a letter of congratulations to these 9 pro-life Assembly members plus Michael Cusick.
