May 15 Rally to Oppose Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins RHAPP Bill


On Thursday, May 15, 2008 from 4PM – 6PM Advocates for Life and New
Yorkers for Parental Rights will cosponsor a second Peaceful Rally to
oppose New York State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins' (D-Yonkers)
radical abortion bill, Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection –
RHAPP.  The Rally will be held at Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins'
district office located at 35 East Grassy Sprain Road – near Tuckahoe
Road in Yonkers.

The decision to hold this second rally was made after a May 8th
meeting with Senator Stewart Cousins and bill opponents, where she
admitted that the seriously flawed bill is being reviewed, and
insisted: "This bill is going nowhere."

"As long as RHAPP exists, we will continue to oppose it," stated
Leslie Diaz, spokesperson for New Yorkers for Parental Rights.

According to Alan Mehldau, Director of Westchester Putnam Respect Life
Committee, "This bill provides no loving choice for women who may be
facing an unplanned pregnancy.  The only "choice" allowed under this
bill is the choice that financially benefits the abortion industry."

"This bill is clearly targeting minority communities," said Reverend
Abbelane Rivera.  "She didn't respond to our concerns about the
serious effects RHAPP would have on the minority community,"

"She also said that the RHAPP was drafted by Spitzer and she just
signed her name to it," remarked Reverend Valentin Rivera, President
of the Westchester County Hispanic Clergy Organization,

"This bill goes far beyond Roe v. Wade by making abortion during all 9
months of pregnancy a fundamental right," stated Richard Brand, a
constituent who attended the meeting. "It is straight off of the
abortion industry's wish list."

"We appreciate Senator Stewart-Cousins' decision to meeting with us to
discuss the many harmful and reckless aspects of RHAPP," concluded
Doreen Ball from Advocates for Life. "While our discussion with the
Senator was encouraging, the RHAPP act itself embodies complete
disregard for human life – both of the unborn and their mothers - and
we maintain our commitment to oppose this heinous legislation. We call
upon Senator Stewart-Cousins to officially state that she no longer
supports the RHAPP Act she introduced to the Senate and that she will
not reintroduce it for consideration in a revised form."

The May 15 Rally will be held Rain or Shine.

The press is welcome!
