Governor Hochul: “New York State is the economic engine of the country… This is going to be an additional tax on New York residents and American residents overall, and I don’t see a way around that. This is what we’re facing right now. In a time when I’m working so hard to put money back in New Yorkers pockets, an additional $1,300, $1,400 a year is going to take that money right back out. So consumers are the ones who are going to bear the brunt of this, and that’s what concerns me so much.”
Hochul: “My doctors have a right to prescribe FDA-approved medication via telehealth… I will continue to stand up strongly to support women’s rights to abortion. This is my mother’s generation’s fight. It’s something we all took for granted, and it’s not there for my daughter — and it better be back in place for my granddaughter. These are the values we espouse in New York, and I will protect this doctor. I will never, ever sign an extradition agreement to send this doctor into harm’s way to be prosecuted as a criminal for simply following her oath.”
