Team — I will always stand up to anti-choice extremists who threaten women’s health care and the medical professionals who provide it. 

That’s what we stand for. That’s who we are as New Yorkers — and I’ll never back down.

If you’re with me, add your name in support of my administration’s work to protect abortion access and stand up for women’s rights.

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, I promised that New York would remain a safe haven for reproductive rights and for the healthcare professionals who provide women with the care they need and deserve.

We’ve made good on that promise — passing shield laws to protect doctors and abortion providers from extradition attempts and safeguarding their privacy.

I have stood firm in protecting women’s rights and doctors’ ability to do their jobs safely, without the threat of imprisonment by red states.

As I said after the first extradition attempt from the state of Louisiana:

I took an oath of office to protect all New Yorkers. And I will uphold not only our Constitution but the laws of our land. And I will not be signing an extradition order that came from the governor of Louisiana. Not now, not ever.

If you stand with me in the fight to protect reproductive rights here in New York, please add your name in support of my administration’s work to make our state a safe haven for women and abortion providers.

I’m always proud to stand up for reproductive rights in the state of New York — the place where the fight for women’s rights started.

Ever Upward,

Governor Kathy Hochul
