A nod to Planned Parenthood, who undoubtedly paid for the NY majority needed to pass the law to increase their customer base.

 

More money to PP = more money to the Dem campaign coffers. Think of all the fresh, young body parts they can sell.

 

Where are you PPP leftists? Share your joy with the rest of your party.

Doesn't PP get a lot of their funding from taxpayers?

Even liberals have to be offended by this, what's next, euthanasia for the elderly because they've become a burden? 

 

They're not offended by this. They're overjoyed. They are all literally celebrating this. There is too much money slicing up babies for them to worry about ethics. Even the "Catholics."

@Gugny. Try reading this. We can go back to class tomorrow, I'll let you know what time it'll begin. We can only hope you learn something from the better man (me).

 

Glad you missed the gleeful shoutbox lowIQ crowd this evening.

 

When I'm registered like you, we can compare our manhood.  Until then, I win, Gary Glitter.

I'm not registered, idiot.  Get yourself up to speed. You'd be amazed at how actually ***** perfect I am.

 

But, avoid the actual article. Avoid learning and intelligence. Continue on NPCGugny.  Your overlords Gov Coumo and Schumer love you.

Yes. We all pay for them to provide the abortions. And then they charge on top of that. That money goes straight to the Dem politician campaigns. They all but paid for Kamala Harris to get elected. They own her after she raided the house pf the guy who had undercover video of their body selling scheme.

I'm not sure, but I know our local State Senator, Cathy Young, tried to sponsor an add-on bill that would exempt the situation, where a domestic violence victim lost the baby.

 

but the democrats said no.

Sorry, but battered women are far below abortion on the left wing pecking order.

Here is the actual text:

 

 

Quote

  Section  1.  Legislative intent. The legislature finds that comprehen-
sive reproductive health care, including contraception and abortion,  is
a  fundamental  component of a woman's health, privacy and equality. The
New York Constitution and United States Constitution protect  a  woman's
fundamental right to access safe, legal abortion, courts have repeatedly
reaffirmed  this  right and further emphasized that states may not place
undue burdens on women seeking to access such right.
  Moreover, the legislature finds, as with other medical procedures, the
safety of abortion is furthered by  evidence-based  practices  developed
and  supported  by medical professionals; any regulation of medical care
must have a legitimate purpose. Abortion is one of  the  safest  medical
procedures  performed  in  the  United States; the goal of medical regu-
lation should be to improve the quality and availability of health  care
services.
  Furthermore,  the legislature declares that it is the public policy of
New York State that every individual possesses a  fundamental  right  of
privacy  and  equality with respect to their personal reproductive deci-
sions and should be able to safely effectuate those decisions, including
by seeking and obtaining abortion care, free from discrimination in  the
provision of health care.
  Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to prevent the enforce-
ment  of laws or regulations that are not in furtherance of a legitimate
state interest in protecting  a  woman's  health  that  burden  abortion
access.

So I only skimmed this and I don't get the outrage.  It strips criminal punishments for abortion-related stuff, okay that's fine.  That's not what you all are chirping about.

 

But now it adds late-term abortions based on the viability of the fetus or the health of the woman.  Where are you getting it that they can now kill a baby right before delivery for no reason...?  Now an abortion can be done late term, but under only two scenarios.  Unless I am missing something, which please tell me!

 

 

EDIT:  I get that if you are pro-life you would be upset at this, but there isn't anything ghoulish or radical about this law.

Question - so if a pregnant lady is murdered does that mean a guy can’t be charged with two counts of murder now? (Not that that’s an important part of this, just wondering if that not a live until born could have other implications)

 

Never could in NY.

"Health" isn't defined within the law to any degree of exclusivity, which makes in entirely subjective; which means it will be defined as broadly as possible upon interpretation because there were no legal limits placed on a broad definition.

 

As to late term abortions for physical health reasons?  There is no reason to kill a viable baby for the physical health of the mother.  The baby is viable so you deliver it.  This equally protects the life of the mother, and doesn't result in the unnecessary death of an infant.

No no no.  You are conflating the two scenarios.

 

First, a late-term abortion can be done for if "there is an absence of fetal viability," as determined by a "practitioner's reasonable and good faith professional judgment."  Two, a late-term abortion can be done if it is to protect the patient's life or health, as determined by a "practitioner's reasonable and good faith professional judgment."

 

 

So a practitioner must determine, in the professional judgment, if one of those scenarios apply.  And of course it is subjective, nor would health ever be defined in this context.  We let doctors make these determinations, we do not let legislators define what these two scenarios are.  

 

If you are contesting that a late-term abortion can never be done to protect the health of the patient, then you are suggesting a medical practitioner could never find scenario 2 applicable.  But, no offense, I am going to trust a doctor's judgment on that, not yours...?  

 

 

The suggestion that a healthy fetus can be killed minutes before birth, at the whim of the woman, is false.

Apologists will argue that the new law only makes late-term abortion legal in cases where it will save the mother's life. The problem with this argument is that it is false on every conceivable level. First, the law allows for abortions to protect the woman's life "and health." What does "health" mean? Well, anything. The law conspicuously avoids defining the term. It seems that any kind of health concern would qualify — physical health, emotional health, psychological health, financial health.

 

The point is that the "life and health" stipulation will not effectively prevent any woman from getting an abortion for any reason at any time.

 

 

This is false.  One, health would never be defined in any context like this when it comes to a practitioner making medical decisions.  Two, it cannot be used for a woman to "get an abortion for any reason at any time," It requires a medical practitioner to determine the abortion is neccessary to protect her life or health.  A practitioner would never do that based on emotional/financial health, give me a break.  When we make laws like this in the united states, we trust that our doctors will comply with thier rules.  It is a self-regulated profession.  When your argument against a law is, essentially, that doctor will not comply with it, then you are complaining about doctors, not the actual law.  

 

Quote

 

Second, late-term abortion is never necessary to protect a woman's life or health. No late-term abortion has ever been committed for the sake of saving a woman's life. It has never happened and will never happen.

 

I repeat: there is never any circumstance, ever, where a late-term abortion is medically necessary. It could be necessary, in the case of some kind of cataclysmic complication, to remove the child from his mother's womb. But it is never necessary to kill the child before removing him. There is no medical reason to take that extra step of preemptively killing the child.

 

 

 

Um you have to cite this.  You are essentially saying that a doctor can never make the medical determination that an abortion is needed to protect a woman's life or health.  

 

 

EDIT: Something else I will note is that these two scenarios likely go hand-in-hand: a fetus is not going to be viable, and carrying it to term will be a danger to a mother's life.  If you're angry at the second scenario, it's just the other side of the coin.

No it is Not.

 

if a health-care practitioner deems it necessary for the mother’s life or health — the exception that was defined in Roe companion case Doe v. Bolton as “all factors — physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age — relevant to the wellbeing of the patient.” In other words, abortion will be available to women essentially on demand up to the point of birth.

No.

 

Your are being undeniably naive

They are obeying the law, it is written vaguely on purpose, so that terminating the pregnancy can ALWAYS be justified,

while letting a risky pregnancy go to term is the feared outcome.
