Re: New York’s abortion law
Isn’t that the problem with politics in general? Do as I say, not as I do.
Politicians want to tell us what to do, but they fall short of their own standards...which is why we don’t trust them. Nothing is sincere. It’s all politics/bullshit.
Someone needs to come out and support common sense, non partisan policies. Oh wait!
This abortion nonsense is 100% politics and literally dismisses every fabric of humanity and common sense. Northram was given millions by PP and he’s now returning the favor.

Senate Fails to Pass Born-Alive Bill
By a vote of 53-44, the Senate has failed to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would have required doctors to provide medical care to infants born alive after an attempted abortion procedure. The bill — sponsored by Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) and cosponsored by 49 of his fellow Republican senators — needed 60 votes to overcome the legislative filibuster.
Just three Democratic senators crossed the aisle to vote with Republicans in favor of the legislation: Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), and Doug Jones (Ala.).
All six of the Democratic senators currently running for the 2020 presidential nomination voted against the bill: Cory Booker (N.J.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), along with Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Three Republican senators did not vote on the bill: Kevin Cramer (N.D.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Tim Scott (S.C.). According to their communications directors, both Cramer and Scott missed the vote due to flight delays.

So clearly this is not just a very liberal state thing. The vast majority of Dems voted against protections for babies born alive after abortion.

Re: New York’s abortion law
As someone who is quite more liberal than most down here in the LID, this is fucking nuts.
I don't really want to get into the "when is it life" debate. But if the baby is outside of the mother and still alive I would say it is definitely passed the point of no return on "not life".
I would call this tantamount to murder and directly against the hypocritic oath.
I am having a crisis of political belief on this one.
