Bill and Kathy Defining Crime and the Dignity of Women Down on the Campaign Trail

Kathy Hochul is governor of New York because Andrew Cuomo was Me-Tooed. As governor, Hochul prides herself on so-called women’s rights — chief among them being the right to an abortion at anytime. (Abortion rights are the “rock upon which we were founded.”) She wants women and girls to come to her state for their abortions — Lady Liberty will embrace you so your baby can be eliminated.

It’s men like him who benefit from abortion.

When the most intimate violence is insisted on and even celebrated, we are a far cry from his politically expedient “safe, legal, and rare.”

Nicole Gelinas from the Manhattan Institute was on fire this weekend with righteous indignation about the crime joke:
