Gov. Cuomo isn’t shy about his proposed budget for 2019, crowing on his Web page that he is “Realizing the Promise of Progressive Government.”
The promise of this particular style of government seems to be to fulfill every liberal dream about abortion in one fell swoop, or at least the dreams that haven’t already come true in a state that has the highest rate of abortion in the United States.
Across the country, 19 percent of all pregnancies are terminated. In New York City, over one in three babies are aborted, resulting in an astonishing ratio of 505 abortions per 1,000 live births. Even more shocking is the ratio for African-Americans: 1,038 abortions per 1,000 live births — meaning more African-American babies are being aborted in the city than are being born. These statistics reflect New York’s liberal abortion laws, which provide public funding for abortion and do not require parental notice or consent for minor girls.
