Zohran Mamdani Won. Now What?

He has promised to double taxpayer funding for the New York Abortion Access Fund, and vowed to shut down pro-life pregnancy centers.

On January 1st, Zohran Mamdani will become the first Muslim mayor of New York City. And the first to adopt communist policies. This is the same city where, in 2001, the Twin Towers were destroyed, with 2,977 victims dying as a result, including 2,606 at the World Trade Center, 125 at the Pentagon, and 246 on the four hijacked flights. It appears that New Yorkers have already forgotten 9/11, its victims, and the message that it sent to the world.

Around 78% of Mamdani's voters were under 30 years old, and a high number of those were Muslim. The young generation in the West has seen the rise of sympathizing with communism, and has largely supported the murder of innocent babies, even up to birth, and in some cases, even after birth. Euthanasia has seen strong support by my generation as it appears to be a ''merciful'' act towards the sick, instead of alleviating their sufferings and being beside them and truly loving and caring for them. But the main attraction of Mamdani's voters has been the frozen rents, taxing the rich, and the free buses. The promises he made recall the same promises of Fidel Castro, Khomeini, and other communist leaders. And we know how under every communist leader in history has resulted for the people and the well-being of the country. 

But there is always hope where God's love radiates. God has changed many hearts, and there are many young people today choosing to fight for life and for truth. For Democracy and Western civilization. Do, however, pray for NYC. 

According to the Daily Mail, nearly 1 million New Yorkers will leave the city in response to Mamdani's election. Around 765,000 people of the 8.4 million residents of New York City are preparing to leave, with about 9% sharing that they would “definitely” leave the city if Mamdani is elected the 111th mayor, according to the Daily Mail report, which cites a survey conducted by J.L. Partners. That is equivalent to the population of Washington, DC., or Seattle. Among high earners, 7%, who earn over $250,000 a year, stated that they would definitely leave the city.

Mamdani's Priorities & Policies 

Mamdani embraced gender ideology during his campaign, vowing to provide $65 million in tax funding for hormone therapy drugs and surgeries. President Donald Trump’s executive order wants to remove federal funding from health care providers that provide such drugs and surgeries to children. The new mayor also wants to create “an office of LGBTQIA+ affairs” and declared New York City would become a sanctuary for “LGBTQIA+” people. He also supported a bill to prohibit law enforcement from aiding out-of-state investigations into health care professionals who provide hormone therapy drugs and surgeries to minors

The 34-year-old Mamdani's position in New York City won't be in favor for life. He has promised to double city tax funding for the New York Abortion Access Fund and the city’s Abortion Access Hub. According to LifeNews, the new mayor has vowed to shut down pro-life pregnancy centers in the city to “protect New Yorkers from” and accused them of spreading “false or deceptive information.” This refers to the only three pro-life medical pregnancy centers in all of New York City, which are run by CompassCare, a pro-life and Christian pregnancy center. 

Mamdani's policies break, without question, the 1st, 5th, and 14th amendment in the United States. 

The 1st Amendment, as we know, respects the freedom of religion and speech in the public square. Hence, pro-life people will struggle to freely speak on behalf of the voiceless preborn children and protect them through service. 

The 5th Amendment affirms that no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. However, every abortion law and abortion itself violates this right.

The 14th Amendment ensures equal protection under the law for all persons. And again, every abortion violates this. It is scientifically proven that life begins at conception, with 96% of worldwide biologists affirming this fact, according to the National Institute of Health. 

Mamdani prides himself on his policies that are in the best interest of the people of New York. But by supporting, for instance, abortion and the industry he vows to strengthen, Mamdani and his supporters ignore and will be complicit in the reality that abortion covers and nurtures the epidemic of sex trafficking in NYC, or the covering of sexual abuse in general. The fact that abortion increases a woman’s risk of breast cancer by even 44%, future preterm deliveries by 52%, and increases rates of suicide for the women who have had abortions as high as 5x, does not appear to be the priority. But what appears to be the priority is money and power. In today's political climate and death culture, we live in, standing for life all the way and prioritizing Christian values that built the West we have been privileged to live in, and everyone can benefit from, is not popular anymore. 

We see this pattern happening with the current president of the United States of America, Donald Trump. He has made good progress for life by signing the ''Big Beautiful Bill'', which defunded Planned Parenthood, and by protecting minors from trans surgeries and hormones. However, the President and his administration have proposed to make IVF more affordable, instead of promoting RRM

Or the biggest stain was when the Trump administration's FDA approved, in September of 2025, a cheaper abortion pill, a second generic version of mifepristone. This method of abortion starves the child to death. 60% of the abortions in the USA are due to abortion pills. Babies will die more with this new approval, mothers risk of dying as well, health issues, and water being polluted by this drug are a couple of horrific consequences of this pill. 

Remember, if one has taken the pill, there is a chance to reverse it if done in time. 

It is effective in around or more than 60% of cases. Over 7,000 children have been born as a result of this abortion pill reversal protocol in the US. For further reading, go here: AbortionPillReversal.com 

Nobody's life and dignity should be a game of Russian roulette. 

In 2022, there were 68,388 abortions performed on New York state residents, which was a 15% increase from the previous year. Additionally, New York reported a total of 72,710 abortions to the CDC, including those performed on non-residents, according to the reports by Charlotte Lozier Institute and by Pew Research Center. The Guttmacher Institute estimates that approximately 119,600 abortions took place in New York during 2024. Every day, around 344 babies are killed through abortion in NYC. 

And this tragedy and countless heartbreaks and destruction of family and society in the Big Apple seem not to end with the next NYC mayor. What we can do is pray, continue to be the voice for the voiceless, and defend the victims, the Truth, and the family. To pray for Mamdani's heart to be softened by the Holy Spirit and choose to truly take care of the people, and to protect the life of the baby in the womb and mothers in difficulty.

May God have mercy on all of us.
