Supreme Court Overturned Roe v. Wade. Abortion is Still Legal in NY

People are divided on this issue – they always have been.

The Supreme Court’s decision today does not affect any NY’ers – abortion continues to be legal here, despite Roe v. Wade being overturned.

Most NY politicians are using the Scotus decision as a political point and aren’t telling people that abortion will continue to be legal in NYS.

This is the pathetic part:

Sadly, the Bay Ridge Democrats don’t have one women that is able to speak up and tell these men that it is pointless to gather outside the CLOSED office of Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis and take a picture.

e

If Max Rose had a bus and was taking people from Bay Ridge to Malliotakis’ Staten Island office next week when she was in, he wouldn’t be playing politics. But Rose doesn’t even want to speak with Malliotakis – he just wants to take a photo standing in front of her office.

Max Rose must think that he can come to Bay Ridge at 5:00 pm, take the photo and then grab dinner in Bay Ridge with his buddies. Andrew Gounardesname is on the flyer for this rally, but he didn’t attend it.

On Sunday, Rose is going to Malliotakis’ closed Staten Island office to rally again. (See here) Two cowardly visits from the ousted politician. I think these men are afraid of Malliotakis.

Max Rose didn’t tell anyone that NY has a fund to assist women from out-of-state with getting an abortion (the news said that last year 300 women from out-of-state were able to get abortions in NYS through with financial assistance from the fund). (See here)

Britney Ramps DeBarros did:

Organizations, like the Urban Steam Lab in our community also wanted to take action. (Urban Steam Lab is at 7912 5th Avenue):

Max Rose is trying to get attention for his election, but most people in this area aren’t interested in Rose.

Many of Rose’s former supporters are supporting Britney Ramos de Barros in the primary. She called out Rose for the rally – see here.

The court’s ruling today will hurt poor women in states which abortions will be illegal. If the women don’t have access to abortion legally, they will seek clinics where they can get an abortions – even if the clinics are not staffed with doctors.

The news suggested that the Supreme Court may overturn same sex marriage or birth control. Politicians who are concerned should be taking action – not standing outside the closed office of another politician to take a photo!

What Jamie DeJesus Didn’t Tell Bay Ridge About The School At Nathan’s In Dyker Heights

Jamie DeJesus is a writer for Brooklyn Reporter. He wrote a limited article about 100 seats being added to schools for children with special needs in our community. Isn’t that sad that an article needs to be written like that?

Wouldn’t it have been awesome if DeJesus took Brannan’s press release about these seats and took the view of “What happens if 103 seats are needed?” The truth is those 3 students would be told there is no room at their local school and they would need to go to another school. That’s what happens now to many families.

Jamie DeJesus left out a lot of important information about the new school being built at 650 – 86th Street – formerly, Nathan’s.

DeJesus is a father, but he didn’t write about the safety issues that are a main concern for many parents in Bay Ridge. (See here)

When Community Board 10 members tried to discuss this at a meeting, they were told that a safety report would done and changes would be made, but a safety report with these changes has not been shown to the community. Not one politician has addressed these concerns.

Jamie DeJesus also failed to tell the community how this deal went down. Papers outside our community wrote about the deal. (Info here and here) The person deciding where a public school belongs in our community doesn’t have a child in public school!

A second property on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge has also been purchased with the same seller. Why are lobbyists deciding where schools are placed in our community?

Previously, Brannan said there was no deals behind the school. Megan McGoldrick was first to write about it for the Brooklyn Eagle (See here)

Jamie DeJesus also failed to write about the hotel that is being built next to Nathans. Councilman Brannan told this community that a hotel wasn’t being built next to the school, but it is. (See here) People are concerned that this will change into a homeless shelter as many hotels have in Brooklyn. A recent bill in NYS was made into law that makes it possible for this to happen. (Andrew Gounardes voted for this) (Info here)

DeJesus doesn’t live in this community, so he isn’t taking the time to interview parents or tell us the real issues that are happening. Politicians pressers reign in our area – that’s why I write here.

Angela Kravtchenko Is Running With a Male District Leader Counterpart

Online, Angela Kravtchenko appears to be running independently for district leader. But I received a flyer from her today and she is running with silent Chris McCreight.

This is the first time I have seen then in a picture together. (See here)

McCreight has been a district leader for years and has been silent while politicians have been allowing lobbyists and developers to play in our neighborhood. McCreight works as the Chief-of-Staff to Justin Brannan, so he is not able to speak out against any of the nonsense – vote against McCreight!

NYPD Commission is Clear While Gounardes Cries On Twitter About Supreme Court’s Decision

Commission Sewell made a statement so everyone is clear that the law has not changed in NYC. If someone is carrying a gun illegally in NYC, they will be arrested.

Politicians were less rationale.

Senator Gounardes cried about it on Twitter and was a useless politician. People still need to get a permit to get a gun in NY.

While I support strong gun safety rules, the law of the land is also important. People have the right to own a gun and the Supreme Court needs to guarantee that. I am tired of Andrew Gounardes not working within those laws. Gounardes did the same thing when he voted to gerrymander this community and a court had to rule that it was unconstitutional.

We shouldn’t have seen Gounardes and other politicians crying on social media – we should have seen them making plans to make schools safer. They should be keeping the doors to schools locked and installing cameras at school entries. Parents can still go to the school, but this will deter some people who are having a mental episode from getting in.
