Hochul, Running on ‘Women’s Equality’ Line, Gave to Pro-Life Preacher
Source: New York Observer
The tax returns of lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Kathy Hochul–who is running alongside Gov. Andrew Cuomo on the Democratic and pro-choice Women’s Equality Party Line–show she and her husband donated to the ministry of Charles Swindoll, a Texas-based evangelical radio preacher with strongly anti-abortion views.
Ms. Hochul and her husband William Hochul, a United States Attorney, gave $250 to “The Bible Teaching Ministry of Charles Swindoll” in 2012–her final year representing the Buffalo suburbs in Congress. Ms. Hochul and Mr. Cuomo have spearheaded the new “Women’s Equality Party” line, dedicated to the passage of the 10-point “Women’s Equality Agenda”–which would codify an array of anti-discrimination statutes, as well as unfettered access to abortion services.

Mr. Swindoll, a born-again Christian who serves as chancellor of the Dallas Theological Seminary, wrote a book entitled “Sanctity of Life: The Inescapable Issue” in 1990. In it, he rails against the early termination of pregnancies.

Ms. Hochul said she and her husband were unaware of Mr. Swindoll’s socially conservative opinions when they donated.

I'm hoping this was just pandering to the conservatives in her Congressional district.
