Wendy Long Hits Bloomberg On Abortion, Breastfeeding Guidelines
Over the weekend it was revealed that the Bloomberg
administration’s next health initiative will be to make it more difficult for
new mothers to have access to baby formula in order.
This latest move doesn’t sit well with U.S. Senate
candidate Wendy Long, who calls it a “nandate” (as in a cross between nanny
state and mandate) and who wonders how hizzoner could be pro-choice when it
comes to abortion but not when it comes to breast-feeding.
“What’s even more ironic is a pro-choice politician
dictating how to feed a newborn that he wouldn’t guarantee a right to
life. This is a ‘nandate’ that has gone
to far and I am calling on the Mayor to reverse his decision.”
Ms. Long is the Republican opponent to incumbent Kirsten
Gillibrand, although the Democrat has a 33-point lead according to a most
recent poll.
Ms. Long also calls on Sen. Gillibrand to come out one
way or another on this latest Bloomberg initiative, which, among other things
would force nurses to document a medical reason why mothers would be given baby
formula.
