Governor Kathy Hochul is a champion of reproductive freedom, fighting to protect access to abortion and contraception. Governor Hochul signed into law legislation protecting patients and providers, improving access to and reducing the costs of reproductive health care, making hormonal contraception available over the counter, and ensuring access to medication abortion. Governor Hochul is committed to keep New York a safe harbor for all who need reproductive health care and all who provide it.
Governor Hochul announced a nation-leading, $35 million investment in direct support to reproductive health care providers to expand abortion access and ensure patient, provider, and staff safety. This groundbreaking new fund builds on a series of legislative and regulatory efforts to expand access to the full range of reproductive health services.
New Yorkers have a clear message for anyone who dares to threaten their reproductive rights: not here, not now, not ever. I’m proud to stand with my fellow governors in the fight to strengthen reproductive freedoms — because every American deserves to have their fundamental rights respected.
