New York just made a $24 million decision that’s getting attention across the country. Here’s what Governor Hochul is funding—and why it matters now more than ever.

“Abortion is health care and I will always fight to protect reproductive rights for all New Yorkers and anyone receiving health care in New York,” Governor Hochul said.
Hochul's office says the program provides financial support to health care providers across the Empire State.
“As we face anti-choice extremists in leadership who aim to roll back these hard-fought-for rights, we will always fight to ensure access to reproductive care is protected here in New York and ensure that this state remains a safe harbor for those in need of abortion care," Hochul added.
