[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1082688, member: 12570"] Cuomo is extremely popular (unless you are a state worker) here and can pretty much push through whatever legislation is on his agenda. He has already pushed through one of the most restrictive guns laws in our nation's history. He will get fracking approved. He will use this popularity to carry him to the White House in 2016. That being said, he will have a tough sell on third trimester abortions. I consider myself to be pro-choice but would not approve of these [B]unless[/B] there were signs of fetal distress, birth defects or if the mother developed serious health issues. Yes, I said birth defects---call that selectivism or whatever term you want to use, but if the fetus shows clear signs of birth defects or other abnormalities which would lend themselves to a lesser quality of life I think the parents should have the right to terminate the pregnancy. I also wholeheartedly agree with island (only for third tremester) that the parents must be shown a sonogram of the fetus before being allowed to terminate the pregnancy. Abortion should not be considered to be yet another form of birth control. [/QUOTE]
