Kristen Day Tackles Gov. Cuomo | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Cuomo is playing to the base.  He may think he has a good chance at 2016 if he keeps the base happy. He is probably right.  This bill, by the way, is largely symbolic.  Roe is the controlling law and there is no cause to repeal it.  What can be changed is for the Congress to set a lower limit on the start of legal recognition of the fetus (or even the embryo) under its 14th Amendment enforcement powers.  Any state abortion law would then have to comply with those limits, period.
