(CNSNews.com) - Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) has been visiting Christian churches recently, appearing at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem on Sunday, March 26, and at the Evangelical Crusade Christian Church in Brooklyn on Palm Sunday.
“It’s such a joy to join together with @SenatorWarnock at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem where he once served and where he’s preaching a guest pastor today,” Schumer said in a tweet he sent out on March 26.
“I was honored to join the Evangelical Crusade Christian Church in Brooklyn to celebrate a blessed Palm Sunday with the community,” Schumer said in a tweet he sent out last Sunday.
“And we celebrated Rev. Dr. Samuel Nicolas’s 65th birthday!” Schumer said in the tweet.
“Chuck was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where his dad owned a small exterminating business and his mom was a housewife,” says the biography on Schumer’s Senate website. “He attended public school and graduated from James Madison High School before heading to Harvard University, and then Harvard Law School. Chuck has two daughters, Jessica and Alison, and he still resides in Brooklyn with his wife, Iris Weinshall.”
On his campaign website, Schumer says he is working on “codifying abortion rights into federal law.”
“With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the MAGA Supreme Court sent women’s rights back decades,” says Schumer’s website. “They opened the floodgates for states to pass all-out abortion bans with no exceptions. And Mitch McConnell indicated that if Republicans take back the majority in Congress, they’ll try to ban abortion in every state, even in places like New York where abortion is currently safe and legal.
“Chuck Schumer is leading the fight to lass federal legislation that will guarantee equal access to abortion, no matter what state you live in,” says his website. “By codifying abortion rights into federal law, a woman’s right to get an abortion will be protected, no matter what bans a state legislature tries to pass.”
