58% : Just this past Saturday in Manhattan, at Old St. Patrick's, I was present as Father Fidelis made clear after Mass that our First Saturday Witness to the Planned Parenthood a block away was about prayer and prayer alone.
58% : But NYC for Abortion Rights says there is "no home" for that -- pro-life people praying in New York City.
53% : Father Fidelis Moscinski, CFR, a Franciscan priest, pushing against him as he and others simply prayed the Rosary as after Mass they walked the streets of Brooklyn, the few blocks from St. Paul and St. Agnes Church in Cobble Hill to a Planned Parenthood in an office building.
48% : Pre-COVID, protesters made a human blockade for a half hour, keeping people from leaving Old St. Patrick's on Mott Street to head to Planned Parenthood.
43% : He knows what anyone who spends time talking to women outside abortion clinics knows: Many of them feel that they have no choice except abortion.
42% : Actually, it was prayer they were trying to halt -- prayer for an end to abortion in a city where in some ZIP codes more babies are aborted than born.
38% : When I asked her if she wanted to be a mayor for people who believe abortion is evil, too, she would only tell me repeatedly that she is for a woman's right to choose.
33% : In 2014, Andrew Cuomo told Catholics who believe Church teaching on abortion to leave the state.
