New York heaps piles of abuses on citizens
Per our Declaration of Independence, when government becomes destructive of our God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty and property, we have a right and duty to object.
As I celebrate our Declaration and read the “long train of abuses” causing our Founders to declare independence, I find New York state likewise guilty of a train of abuses.
Our state is one of the highest taxed, regulated and debt-ridden states; has restricted fossil fuels, causing exorbitant energy costs and destroying jobs; caused crime to skyrocket with lenient, no-bail, no-jail laws; passed restrictive firearms laws infringing on constitutional rights and endangering public safety; and spent billions annually on undocumented immigrants while citizens suffer.
New York legalized 100,000 clinician provided abortions annually, not counting dangerous chemical abortions; legalized assisted suicide which targets the elderly, disabled, depressed, and poor; legalized same-sex marriage in violation of God’s natural order; failed to protect sexually confused children from the transgender industry, puberty blockers and reassignment surgery; and failed to protect females by allowing biological males into female sports and locker rooms.
Our state........
