CUOMO ON THE GO, Pt 2: HE WANTS TO EASE ABORTION REQS







Yes, you're reading that right: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is preparing legislation that will guarantee all women have access to late-term abortions when the health of the mother is at risk or the fetus is not viable, according to a report in The New York Times on Sunday. The much-reviled procedure has been banned in most states—and New York only allows it if the life of the mother is at risk—but those bans are largely symbolic. The proposed law’s chances of being passed are uneven, at best, as the Democratic-controlled state Assembly seems likely but the State Senate, controlled by a coalition of Republicans, has leaned away from supporting new abortion laws.
