IN the NEWS - Raimondo stepping in Cuomo's Footprints

....and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis 6:5

"Following the lead of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Rhode Island’s pro-abortion Catholic governor supports what amounts to unrestricted abortion written into her state’s law. 
"I write in strong support of House Bill 5127, which would
enshrine the important provisions of Roe v. Wade in state law," wrote Governor Gina Raimondo (D) in a Jan. 29 letter to Chairman of the House Committee on Judiciary Robert Craven. 
"I support efforts to protect Rhode Island women's right to reproductive health care," she wrote. "This bill maintains the status quo in Rhode Island as it has existed for decades, but is important now in light of uncertainty about changes that may come from the Federal government," she added. The bill is titled Rhode Island Reproductive health Care Act (2019-H 5127).
But, according to legal experts consulted by Rhode Island Right to Life, the two abortion expansion bills (2019-H 5127 and 2019-H 5127) go far beyond Roe v. Wade.
Both H 5127 and H 5125 would "eliminate any constitutional restrictions on late-term abortions" and "eliminate any constitutional restrictions on methods of abortion."
It would also "undermine the authority of the State and the Department of Health from enacting and adopting constitutional restrictions on the performance of abortions at facilities where abortions are performed." And, it would "require the State to pay for all abortions sought by Medicaid-eligible pregnant women and women covered by the “payer of last Resort” program."
