On the 46th anniversary, Jan. 22, of Roe v. Wade, the New York legislature celebrated by passing the most aggressive abortion bill in history. This bill allows babies to be abortedafter 24 weeks when the fetus doesn't have a chance of survival or it is necessary to protect the life of the mother.

Since 2006 when the bill was first introduced, it was blocked by the Republican-controlled state Senate.Now that the Democrats took over this month they wasted little time in passing the Reproductive Health Act. This act will safeguard the woman’s right to abortions no matter what Washington does with Roe v. Wade.

The “old” abortion bill allowed only doctors to perform them. The new bill now allows physician assistants, nurse practitioners and midwives to do so.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who signed it immediately, said "women in New York will always have the fundamental right to control their own body." This is always the right politicians say a woman has, the right to control her own body, but if she wants to be a prostitute, that is against the law.

Also in this bill, abortions have been removed from the criminal code. I guess this means that if a fetus is killed while a woman is assaulted, there is no crime for the death, even though the woman wanted to keep her child.

To make a comparison, Hitler killed about 6 million Jews,about 1.5 million were children.Abortions in America have killed 10 times more babies than Jews killed by Hitler. Since Roe v. Wade, over 61 million babies have been killed.

Those celebrating this bill praise it for protecting a woman’s reproductive rights. How about a baby's right, the right to live? Each human life is sacred and the right to life is the right of all rights. That inalienable right should include the unborn.
