Anti-RHAPP billboard directed at Stewart-Cousins

April
22

The group New Yorkers for Parental Rights, which staunchly opposes the Reproductive Health & Privacy Protection Act now before state lawmakers, is making itself visible in Yonkers. They’ve unveiled a billboard criticizing Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins for her sponsorhship of the measure.

See the billboard here.

It’s part of a statewide effort targeting supporters of the measure, which critics say would, among other things, would lift limits on when an abortion can be performed and make it easier for minor to obtain an abortion without parental consent.

The group has previously picketed Stewart-Cousins’ office.

Stewart-Cousins has argued that the proposed law would simply align New York’s abortion laws with the federal government’s.

    The real abortionist is Nick Spano.

  2. Nancy Gottcheaux

    I a lifelong Republican and would vote for Karl Marx, Stalin or Jack the Ripper before I voted for Nick Spano again.

    He betrayed his conservative Republican base … he is done.

    You people really amaze me Cousins is the one carrying the bill-this story has nothing to do with Nick Spano-I for one would gladly vote for Nick Spano 100 times over bfore I would vote for that do nothing Cousins

    Hey Desi, if Cousins was around then, there might not have been a “Little Ricky.” Think about that.

    So glad to see this billboard up – and so glad that this paper is covering it.

    What a shame it is that Senator Cousins had her chief of staff phone a constituent who has written a letter to the editor complaining about Cousins refusal to meet with constituents about this awful RHAPP bill.

    What kind of government is this when people who exercise their constitutional right to petition the government and exercise freedom of speech – daring to tell their elected representative about certain propose legislation – are condemned by government representatives?!?

    This is thuggery – and certainly not how we expect our elected officials to uphold their sworn oaths to defend the constitution.

    Stewart Cousins should think about how Planned Parenthood targets minority women for abortions and their assumption that minority women don’t love their babies. Stewart Cousins is aiding and abetting the racist abortion industry. Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood’s founder, was a eugenicist who targeted Italian and Jewish women and later black and Hispanic women. Yet David Paterson happily received an award from them! Perhaps he, Spitzer and Stewart Cousins should have somebody read a history book to them!

    Amazing that Senator Cousins, being an African American Woman, would be dooped into putting her name on the RHAPP Bill. The first thing she should ask herself is, Why amend the existing abortion law (Roe vs Wade)? Don’t we already have abortion on demand? Secondly she should ask, What are those changes and who do they benefit? Finally she should research the reasons why more abortion clinics are housed in Black and Hispanic Communities. She should then be brought to tears, to realize that the African American Community WAS ONCE the largest minority community in America and now their numbers are dwindling as a result of all a result of generations of killing Black babies through abortions. Too bad, I hear that Senator Cousins does very little reading.

    There is an amazing You Tube video about this awful proposal that everyone should see.

    Pictures of the Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins Yonkers RHAPP billboard are even in it!
