New York Governor Cuomo Wants To Ban The Death
Penalty...Except For Unborn Children. Go Ahead And Kill Those.

This week, the media did everything in their power to
avoid talking about the pro-life March for Life, attended by hundreds of
thousands of people who braved the cold to stand with the rights of unborn
children. Instead, the media manufactured stories out of whole cloth – in
particular, the story of a group of Catholic high school boys supposedly
harassing a kind elderly Native American gentleman. That story turned out to be
false. But at least the American people weren’t subjected to coverage of the
actual March itself. That could have disturbed the Democratic narrative that
abortion is freedom.
How far has the Democratic Party gone at this point? Let
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) tell the tale. This week, Cuomo
celebrated a bill passed by the legislature that legalized the murder of unborn
infants up to the point of birth – and even changed the criminal code so that
there would be no separate punishment for the murder of an unborn infant (so, for
example, if a boyfriend beat his pregnant girlfriend in the belly so hard she
miscarried, the only crime would be for his assault on her, not for his killing
of the baby). Cuomo ordered that state sites be lit up in pink, in honor of the
imminent murder of thousands of more children.
Meanwhile, Cuomo came out strongly in favor of banning
the death penalty in New York, hilariously citing Catholic doctrine in his own
defense:
Andrew Cuomo ✔@NYGovCuomo
The death penalty is morally indefensible and has no
place in the 21st century. Today, in solidarity with @pontifex and in honor of
my father, I will be advancing legislation to remove the death penalty from
State law once and for all.

JUST IN: Pope Francis changes Catholic teaching on the
death penalty, saying it is never admissible. The Church will now "work
with determination towards its abolition worldwide," the Vatican says https://cnn.it/2OxhjHj
Now, it’s already bizarre to see Democrats citing the
Pope as justification for their politics, given the party’s newfound hatred of
Catholicism – just ask the Covington boys, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, and the
Knights of Columbus. It’s even more bizarre to watch Cuomo invoke the Pope
literally days after celebrating the mass killing of the unborn. It turns out
the Catholic Church has had some ideas on abortion for a while.
But this is how extreme the Democratic Party has become:
open celebration of the lethal injection of the unborn, while simultaneously
protecting rapists and murderers from lethal injection. At least we now know
whom Democrats think are the most dangerous among us: innocent children who
haven’t exited their mothers’ womb.
