I
can’t imagine a more horrible irony. On Tuesday, January 22, New York
Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered that the spire of the One World Trade
Center be lit pink. The reason why? To celebrate the
passage of a new law that radically liberalizes abortion in New York
State – in some cases allowing abortion up until the moment
of birth, permitting non-doctors to perform abortions, and removing
recognition of preborn babies older than 24 weeks as potential homicide
victims.
The
new One World Trade Center is built on the same ground where thousands
of innocent Americans – including eleven unborn babies – lost their
lives on 9/11. The new building is supposed to stand as a symbol of
America’s resilience in the face of evil, a memorial to those who lost
their lives. Yards away from the building, the 9/11 memorial explicitly
honors the “unborn child” of each of those eleven pregnant women who
died on that infamous day.
And
yet, Gov. Cuomo – who considers himself a Catholic – had the gall to
use this self-same building to “celebrate” a profoundly divisive and
extreme law...
