    Andrew Cuomo ordered that the spire of the One World Trade Center be lit pink to celebrate the passage of a new law (passed on the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision) that radically liberalizes abortion in New York State, in some cases allowing abortion up until the moment of birth, even permitting non-doctors to perform abortions – the most wicked and egregious assaults on humanity in America’s history.
