New York passed a law Tuesday that allows abortion “at any time” to protect a woman’s “life or health.” The state’s previous law, which had been in place three years prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade, prohibited abortions after 24 weeks, the point increasingly understood to be viability, unless the procedure was necessary to save a women's life.
In the days following Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s signing of the law, NFL player Benjamin Watson, Albany Bishop Edward Scharfenberger, and pro-life leaders condemned the bill.
Mothers and other family members joined in on the public outcry, sharing pictures of their babies that the bill would’ve allowed abortion for while still in the womb or, in some cases, just days or hours before the pictures were taken.
New York just passed a law that would have allowes me to end my son’s life 30 minutes before this photo was taken.

Hey New York. My son is the same person inside the womb as he is on the outside, but you celebrate killing this beautiful baby as a victory for women? He didn’t suddenly have a heartbeat, hair, fingernails, and emotions and the desire to be loved the second he was born. Outraged. pic.twitter.com/nR8tcldsZC

5 minutes before these pictures were taken I could have walked in & LEGALLY decided to abort this baby instead of having a c-section. Don’t try to tell me this isn’t murder. Come on New York, what the hells wrong with you. pic.twitter.com/YdluL3FpS5
My sweetheart was born full-term a week early, it makes me so sad to know that now in New York babies his age could be aborted for whatever reason.

My baby born at 38 weeks old. 7 pounds 20 inches long. New York is celebrating giving women the choice to murder someone as perfect as this. Can you even imagine? pic.twitter.com/ND9cv88lkq

In New York, we could’ve had the option to abort her. Evil. Pure. Evil. pic.twitter.com/C3QjeH4pBA
6 months into my sister’s pregnancy she had her son Jonah.

New York has made it legal to kill a baby that age.
Inside or outside the womb, it’s the same baby with the same beating heart and the same right to life.

Meet Blake. This photo was taken after his 1st bath. 45 min ago, little Blake was still inside his mommy waiting to make his appearance. Under the new #abortion bill in New York, 45 min ago, Blake could been ripped limb from limb & brutally murdered under the “healthcare” label. pic.twitter.com/3WAoekRM24

New York State just passed a bill that legalizes abortion up until birth (40 weeks). Here is an in-womb 3D photo of my daughter at only 29 weeks.

This is my new nephew, born 5 weeks early. According to the state of New York, he could be legally aborted. I don’t agree with #abortion, but I agree with a person’s #righttochoose, to a point. How could you consciously make a #choice slaughter this angel? pic.twitter.com/0uiO7NegbC
