Spitzer the Most Ardent Pro-Abortionist

  • Blog

The right-to-life movement is not sorry to see Governor Eliot Spitzer leave public office. He is well-known as a zealot prosecutor, but few outside of New York know the zeal with which he pushed his pro-abortion views. Unborn children were less than zeroes in his view, and he wanted to do everything in his power to ensure that not a single protection was left for them.

At his January 9 State of the State address, Spitzer said: “Given the continued efforts at the federal level to dismantle protection for women’s reproductive health and privacy, I ask you to pass the ‘Reproductive Health and Privacy protection Act'”—known as RHAPP.

Here are some of the disastrous provisions of RHAPP:

  • Remove criminal penalties even from unlawful abortions.
  • Forbid any protections, such as parental notification, even for young teenagers
  • Effectively prevent even an unborn child who is the intended victim of a crime from being recognized as a victim
  • Mandate Medicaid funding for abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy
  • Redefine pregnancy as beginning at implantation – not fertilization
  • Negatively redefine fetal viability

Will Lt. Governor David Paterson be any better? Time will tell.
