If a mugger attacks a pregnant woman on her way to the hospital to give birth and his violent assault kills her baby he is no longer guilty of homicide under the new "pro-choice" law in the state of New York.
We only become people once we're born according to this new law so that the killing of what science declares to be a human being is not homicide unless they've been born.
One might ask why the obvious correction wasn't made; namely that a woman has the right to choose to kill her unborn child but no one else does. The problem is that if the law said that it would be saying that the unborn are people and that's something the pro-abortion fanatics can't allow.
This is the central lie at the heart of the abortion movement; that somehow at birth a human being is
magically turned into a person.
The science is settled; human life begins at conception, see the quotes at the end of this post. Anyone who has taken sex ed or high school biology knows that this is true. Each individual organism, human or animal, is defined by its DNA. At conception a new unique being with human DNA is formed. From that instant the sex, hair color, and a multitude of other factors are fixed. One can go to any biology text and discover that at every stage of human development, including those before birth, people are human. There is no magical transition where a woman's unborn daughter turns from a frog to a human being. That's as fake as Scientology.
Yet in order to allow abortions pro-aborts have to pretend that science is wrong.
The key way they do that is to say that the unborn are human--though they only admit that when forced to by scientific facts--but they're not persons who are protected by the law. Interestingly that was the same technique used by Nazi's to justify killing Jews and by slave owners to justify slavery.
The problem is that if leftists say that the government has the power to define which biologically human beings are persons then they're saying that if Trump managed to get the government to declare that illegals weren't persons, even though they're obviously human beings, and hence that we could hunt down and kill illegals it would be ok in that while leftists wouldn't agree with it they would have to agree that the government has the power to do that.
In reality just like the Nazi's and the slave owners modern pro-abortion folk only think the government has the power to declare those human beings who pro-abortion folks don't like to be non-persons. But that's just hypocrisy. If the left declares that the government has the power to declare any scientifically human being a non-person with no rights then that power is clearly applicable against anyone from Jews to the handicapped. Thats why our Declaration of Independence says that all people have intrinsic rights that come from God and which can't be taken away by the government including the right to life.
The reality is clear Cuomo and his Democrat allies aren't interested in a woman's right to choose; they're interested in killing babies. When a woman's baby is killed in an assault she's not choosing it yet the law Cuomo forced through says its not homicide. Similarly allowing non-Doctors to perform abortions is putting killing babies in front of safe medical care for women.
Historically Democrats have worked hard to not hold abortion mills to the same medical safety standards as other medical sites that actually heal people. For example the Gosnell abortion "clinic" had blood and cat
feces on the floor but nothing had been done because the "clinic" hadn't been
inspected by the government for 20 years. The lack of any government oversight also explained how the "anesthesiologist" had a 6th grade eduction. The health of the women who went to that clinic was of no concern to the pro-abortion forces; all they cared about was that lots of unborn Black children were being killed.
The "clinic" wasn't inspected because politicians said that requiring abortion mills to pass medical inspections would hinder a woman's access to abortion. Once again what matters is that unborn babies are killed not that women get quality health care. Apparently preforming more abortions is more important than insuring that women who have abortions do so in clinics that actually conform to good medical practices. Perhaps because rich white women don't go to "clinics" like Gosnells Democrats aren't concerned about the quality of service offered to minorities.
In America today around 80% of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority neighborhoods and Black women are 3 times as likely to abort their unborn child as white women. Abortion is in fact the leading cause of death for Black Americans.
In every other case where there is a disparate outcome, if only 5% of CEOs are Black while 12% of Americans are Black, the left tells us that it is proof of racism. But in spite of clear evidence of PP targeting minorities, and PP having been founded by a racist who endorsed Hitlers eugenics policies, we're told that Black women aborting at 3 times the rate of white women does not show any racism.
The reality is that the left doesn't like Blacks because if it did they'd be saying that while they support a woman's right to choose we need to take steps to end the disparate impact of abortion on Blacks. It's not by accident that the party which fought the Civil War to keep slavery legal, which founded the KKK, and which passed all the Jim Crow laws is now unconcerned about what Jesse Jackson called genocide against Black people.
The fact that Cuomo and Democrats in general celebrated a law that makes killing a fully viable pain capable child to be literally butchered in her mothers womb minutes before her birth shows that they are monsters not people who care about women.

"Although life is a continuous process, fertilization is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new, genetically distinct human organism is thereby formed.... The combination of 23 chromosomes present in each pronucleus results in 46 chromosomes in the zygote. Thus the diploid number is restored and the embryonic genome is formed. The embryo now exists as a genetic unity."
