CUOMO SCARE TACTICS VS. ASTORINO

The Cuomo plan against Astorino is to use his hefty war-chest to throw anything he can think of, making ridiculous threats and allegations to see if one of them will stick.

His goal is to scare voters into thinking that Astorino will stop Medicaid and ban abortions, knowing that it would be just about impossible.

Even if he wanted to, and he doesn't, Astorino would have to overpower the New York state Legislature and overturn Federal laws and Supreme court decisions. Andrew Cuomo knows this is practically a mute issue. 

Astorino on abortion: “I will not expand abortion into third trimester, which is what the governor was trying to do. And I think the vast majority of New Yorkers believe in my position as opposed to the governor’s radical position,”


New York has had legal abortion for 44 years. It has been legal through the Supreme Court decision 41 years ago.
