Cuomo Ignores Supreme Court on Contraception Mandate
Cuomo recently signed into law the Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act. This law mandates all health insurance plans cover without copay all abortion-causing drugs and devices not only for enrollees but their spouses, domestic partners, and dependents. Health insurance plans and benefits are directly paid for by individual enrollees. This new law means that the enrollees
Should Infants Born Alive in Botched Abortions Be Saved?
Recently the U.S. Senate considered the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This bill simply requires physicians to use all reasonable measures to save the life of a baby born alive after an abortion, just as they would with any other patient. Astonishingly, the Senate rejected the measure by a vote of 53 to 44. The
Why did Jesus say, “The kingdom of God belongs to such as these”?
Jesus was only ever angry with all twelve disciples when those disciples rebuked parents for bringing babies to be blessed by Him. In Mark chapter 10, Jesus reprimands the disciples because He says, “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” What is it about a baby making him the perfect picture of heaven’s
People of Rochester Respond to RHA on May 4
Recently NY declared abortion a fundamental human right, applauding even late term abortion. Because of these legislative actions NY’s largest annual pro-life event, CompassCare’s Walk for Life on May 4, is expected to be even larger.

Why Are Christians Pro-life?
What is the anchoring belief of pro-lifers? All pro-life conviction is rooted in the eternal truth that humans are made in the image of God, reflecting God’s image equally.

Pro-life Employers Attacked By NY Legislation
On January 22, 2019, under the cover of the now infamous Reproductive Health Act, New York’s legislature passed SB 660, otherwise known as the “Boss Bill.” It now awaits Governor Cuomo’s signature. The bill makes it illegal for pro-life organizations to employ staff who both maintain pro-life convictions and live consistently with the mission and
Abortion Cost Per Birth Declines in NY
New York State recently published its vital statistics to reveal falling abortion ratios. An abortion ratio is the number of abortions to live births. For example, in New York City it cost the black community 99 abortions in order to have 100 babies. In Manhattan that cost is 131 abortions per 100 babies born. In

NY Makes Abortion a Human Right…It Gets Worse
New York’s Reproductive Health Act declares abortion a human right. This newfangled right will quickly conflict with freedom of religion for pro-life medical professionals and freedom of speech in pro-life pregnancy centers. NY’s right to abortion actually sets the stage to attack those that would protect babies and their mothers from abortion. It gets worse.
“Oh, I am definitely keeping this baby!”
Recently, Trisha moved to Rochester to escape a domestic abuse situation. Alone, without a job, money, or any local connections, Trisha discovered she was also pregnant.
