Yay!!! Andrew Cuomo's Pro-Infanticide Abortion Law Spares a Murderer an Additional Charge of Also Killing His Girlfriend's Unborn Baby

The second charge was not for murder; New York law, I guess, never allowed for that.

But they did have a law against "second-degree [unlawful] abortion," a law violated by this guy when he deliberately murdered his pregnant girlfriend.

But that charge has been dropped now, because New York no longer has any laws against abortion at all, even inflicting one on a completely unwilling party.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown sent out a press release saying Anthony Hobson, 48, would be charged with second-degree abortion as well as murder in Sunday’s fatal stabbing of Jennifer Irigoyen, 35.

But a DA spokeswoman later told The Post that the abortion charge "was repealed by the Legislature, and this is the law as it exists today."

...

It faced fierce opposition, with the New York State Catholic Conference warning that it "removes accountability for those who would harm unborn children outside the context of medical termination of pregnancy."

Cuomo's office did not comment on the murder case.

I'll bet.
