Franklin Graham
Evangelist Franklin Graham is urging New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to think about his declaration, amid the coronavirus crisis, that human lives are "not expendable."
Shouldn't that also apply to babies?

Graham posed the question in a post on Facebook in response to Cuomo saying at a daily briefing: "My mother is not expendable, and your mother is not expendable and our brothers and sisters are not expendable, and we're not going to accept a premise that human life is disposable."
Graham commented: "I agree with Gov. Cuomo on the high value of life and applaud his efforts to defend lives from the coronavirus. Yet he signed a law that legalizes abortion up to birth for nearly any reason.

"I respectfully urge the governor to consider his statements today in light of the millions of innocent lives taken by abortion."

The son of evangelist Billy Graham, Franklin Graham is the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the global charity Samaritan's Purse.
The Washington Examiner pointed out Cuomo signed the Reproductive Health Act in 2019, which effectively allows the termination of unborn babies until the due date.
Cuomo praised the legislation at the time: "Today we are taking a giant step forward in the hard-fought battle to ensure a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own personal health, including the ability to access an abortion. With the signing of this bill, we are sending a clear message that whatever happens in Washington, women in New York will always have the fundamental right to control their own body."
Graham informed the governor: "In 2017 alone, 105,380 babies lost their lives by abortion in New York. Human life is not expendable, and we should work to save it – from womb to tomb."
