What were we cats just saying about the good things that happen when Democrats take charge? Hot on the heels of enacting election reform, the New York State legislature has passed sweeping reproductive rights bills to head off any damage that the Clarence Thomases, Samuel Alitos and Brett Kavanaughs of the world might do statewide to Roe v. Wade.
Governor Andrew Cuomo signed it into law on the 46th anniversary of the original Supreme Court decision with Sarah Weddington, the lawyer who successfully argued Roe, at his side.
It's too bad that we who believe in reproductive rights have to take this action in the first place. But it's still good to know that we live in a state where, in the words of our State Senate's majority leader, "women's health matters...women's lives matter...[and] women's decisions matter." We cats PURR.
