Half a decade ago California enshrined abortion into law as a fundamental right. Becky Burgoyne, legislative analyst at the California Family Council, remembers how, now-recalled Governor Grey Davis, hung laurels around his own neck.

“As Governor Davis said at the time, ‘California is the most pro-choice state in America and proud of it.’” 

But now there’s competition from a governor with a future. New York’s Eliot Spitzer is trying to resurrect the no-holds barred approach to abortion of Governor Davis.  Reverend Jason McGuire is with New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms. 

“Our Governor wants to make sure that our state has the most strengthened law concerning abortion in the entire nation.”

McGuire says the New York bill is a monumental bypass of any rights for the pre-born.

“That bill really creates some pretty heinous provisions. It violates not only the life of the unborn child, even in the third trimester; it actually endangers the life of the woman as well.”

For citizens of all states where lawmakers would perhaps do anything to hold onto their offices here’s an abortion-law warning from Bergoyne of California.

“It like it’s in your face now. It’s done. It’s there.” 

The message is; many politicians are prone to extend their careers in exchange for the lives of babies yet to have a say.
