NEW YORK, January 28, 2019 (LifeSiteNews <https://www.lifesitenews.com/>) –*
Governor Andrew Cuomo* dug in his heels today, defending signing a law
*legalizing
abortion up until birth while** lashing out at* *Catholic bishops,* *some
of whom increasingly speak of his future excommunication.*

“The Catholic Church doesn’t believe in a woman’s right to choose...I
understand their religious view,” said Cuomo in a WAMC radio interview,
adding, “I’m not here to represent a religion.”

“I’m here to represent all the people and the constitutional rights and
limitations for all the people, not as a Catholic,” asserted the governor.

*Last week the governor signed into law a bill enshrining a woman’s
absolute right to abortion, and then called for a city and state-wide
celebration, going so far as to order the spire topping the One World Trade
Center and other landmarks to be lit in pink

  *

*Earlier today, New York City’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan *did not mince words,*
saying **that the abortion bill Cuomo signed into law is “ghoulish, grisly,
and gruesome.”*

“The fact that he’s a Catholic as far as I’m concerned has nothing to do
with it,” said Dolan <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVi0FYPtRQg> on “Fox
& Friends.”

“Any thinking human being that would want a baby, allow a baby, to be
aborted right up to the moment of birth...anybody who thinks that a baby
who survives a gruesome abortion procedure and that a doctor is no longer
required to attempt to save that baby’s life – you don’t have to be a
Catholic to abhor those types of things,” continued Dolan.

*“This is just awful,”* *said the cardinal*, “and I* don’t know why we
would brag about this.”*

law! Sign the petition here.

Dolan pointed out that abortion proponents like Cuomo no longer claim they
want to keep abortion “safe, legal, and rare.” It’s now “dangerous,
enforced, and frequent.”

“Do you pop champagne corks for that, drink chablis, and eat brie? Do you
light up the Empire State Building?” asked Dolan.

*Dolan said he receives “wheelbarrows of letters” every day asking for
Cuomo to be excommunicated.  *

“We have* a governor that brags” about his differences with** the Catholic
Church’s teaching*, said Dolan.

“We have *a governor that uses his dissent from **Church teachings* *as
applause lines*,” Dolan said. “We have a governor that takes quotes from
Pope Francis out of context to draw an artificial cleavage between bishops
of New York and the Holy Father himself.”

“He likes this. *He likes being the...bad boy when it comes to the Catholic
Church.”  *

Addressing Gov. Cuomo, Cardinal Dolan urged him, “this is hideous. Do not
brag about making the state of* New York the abortion capital of the
world.”*

“This is not an enlightened, progressive posture.”

While Cardinal Dolan has said repeatedly that he does not think *
excommunication **is a proper response to* *Cuomo’s actions,* *a growing
group of his fellow bishops have warmed up to the idea.* *Dolan has also
been cagey about **whether the prominent Catholic politician should be
denied Holy Communion.*

“Excommunication is a last resort, and as the Governor continues to
distance himself from our [Catholic] communion, it may, unfortunately,
result in that,” said Albany’s Bishop Edward Scharfenberger in a January 26
interview

on Fox & Friends.

“My hope is that since his faith is important to him, he will reconsider
the importance of maintaining that communion and not continue to distance
himself,” said Scharfenberger.

*“One can put themselves in the position whereby* *morally they cannot
receive Communion at the altar rail,”* he added. “And I think* the governor
is in that situation right now.”*

Strickland recently said that* the new law amounts to “infanticide.”*
