the rise and fall of Eliot Spitzer
Eliot Spitzer was an aggressive pro-abortion politician who while attorney general attempted to shut down the pro-life emergency pregnancy centers back in 2002 with his ruthless tactics and strong arm pressure, similar to those used against the Wall Street firms. According to Chris Slattery, a long time pro-life activist and director of the EMC Frontline Pregnancy Centers, "Governor Spitzer has most recently proposed a new legislative bill in Albany called the "Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act" that declares that women have a "fundamental right" to abortion in New York State, including in the third trimester without restriction, which would allow non-physician abortions, and force religious hospitals including Catholic ones to actually perform abortions." "No health safeguards for women were included in the legislation," Slattery claimed."Although we cannot gloat for the personal failures of this man, and we pray for his sad family, anytime a major abortion leader in this country falls to his or her own vices it offers that person and our country a time of deep reflection on the true meaning and purpose of life," Slattery added.Slattery's work has been responsible for saving the lives of thousands of women and children. As a result of the good work being done, the abortion industry went to their friend Spitzer and encouraged him to use the power of the law to destroy these centers. Fortunately Chris fought back and successfully stopped these efforts.
one must realize that the abortion industry wants to destroy the pro-life movement. They fund politicians such as Obama and Clinton for that very purpose. This is just another reason why we must be engaged in the political effort to elect friends to the por-life movement.

Thus does the soon-to-be former NY Governor (whom I first saw in 1994/1995 among the slew of rabid lawyers getting valuable media exposure commenting on the OJ Simpson case) join that state's dismal roll call of pro-abortion politicians (many of them "pioneers" in this ultra-violent field,
and/or supposedly "Catholics"): Albert Blumenthal (the Assemblyman whose liberalization bill passed in 1970), Robert Kennedy (whom I otherwise admire, but who helped push through an earlier version prior to his death in 1968), Nelson Rockefeller (who signed it and vetoed its later rescision), Jacob Javits, Bella Abzug, Elizabeth Holtzman, Ed Koch, Mario Cuomo, Geraldine Ferraro, Rudolph Giuliani, George Pataki, Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, ad nauseum. James Buckley, Jack Kemp, Hugh Carey (one of the very, very few pro-abortion politicians whose conscience ever prompted a later change to a pro-life-stance), and (slightly) Alfonse D'Amato can't overcome this horrendous legacy. Perhaps only California and my own longtime home state of Illinois (which at least never legalized abortion-on-demand prior to Roe) compare in this shameful legacy promoting the culture of death....

A couple of others (one famous, the other obscure) I neglected to mention were the late US Senator Danbiel Patrick Moynihan, who defeated Pro-Life James Buckley in 1976, calling him an "ideologue," and who, I always believed, knew better than his 99% pro-abortion record indicated. He did vote for the Partial-Birth Ban, saying that this grisly procedure came "too close to infanticide," when of course ALL elective abortion is scientifically and morally indistinguishable from infanticide, regard of the method or the point in gestation. (If there is a difference, the other side has still not delineated it, forty+ years into the debate. At least Peter Singer of Princeton, neo-Mengele that he is, has enough integrity to admit this.)
The other is Congresswoman Nia Lowey, who was reportedly ticked off at Hillary usurping her chance at the Senate seat in 2000, and once said that if any restrictions on access or subsidy were ever enacted, that she would suggest that women perjure themselves by falsely declaring that they were raped or that their lives were endangered by their pregnancies. (It really is important, and decades overdue, that the pro-life leadership understand the ruthless, extremely elitist nature of the opposition....)
