Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul on Supreme Court Decision on Medication Abortion

Government and Politics

April 21, 2023

From: New York Governor Kathy Hochul

"I thank the Biden Administration and the Department of Justice for working swiftly to stop the politicized effort to block a form of medication abortion that was approved more than 20 years ago. While tonight's decision is welcome news, let me be clear: Anti-choice extremists won't just stop at overturning Roe. They want to completely eradicate reproductive health care as we know it.

"Under my watch, abortion will always be protected and available in New York, and I will continue to ensure that our state remains a safe harbor for those in need of reproductive health care."
