New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling for a special session of the state Senate to protect women’s reproductive rights. He wants the state senators to codify Roe v. Wade into New York law.
Starting Tuesday, Gov. Cuomo together with state and local leaders are holding rallies to protect women’s reproductive rights. Their action comes after President Donald Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Gov. Cuomo calls federal government “extreme conservative”
In his remarks, Gov. Cuomo stated that the federal government has been constantly assaulting everything New Yorkers believe in. He emphasized that the Trump administration is “methodically implementing an extreme conservative agenda … It is totally repugnant to everything we believe, everything we have done, everything I’ve known in my life.”
The governor explained that the Trump administration is extreme conservative because it wants to impose its philosophy of the world to the entire country. He said, “What they believe, we don’t believe. They will roll back Roe v. Wade,” and “they are dead serious” about it.
