Cuomo Hits Back after Trump Criticizes NY Abortion Bill in SOTU

New York governor Andrew Cuomo hit back at President Trump on Wednesday, a day after Trump blasted the recent New York bill loosening restrictions on late-term abortions in his State of the Union address. “The president’s diatribe was part of the far-right’s escalation of its assault on a woman’s constitutional rights,” the governor wrote in an op-ed for the New York Times published Wednesday. During his address to the joint session of Congress, Trump criticized the late-term-abortion bills that have cropped up in New York and Virginia, and called on Congress to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks.
