Call To Action – Call Your NY State Senator & Assemblymember – Tell Them To VOTE NO On Part R Of Governor Hochul’s Proposed Budget
Governor Hochul’s radical pro-abortion budget is unprecedented in its expansiveness. Her budget proposal would force all for-profit businesses and non-religious non-profits to have abortion coverage in insurance policies that they offer their employees. What this means is that any religious for-profit business would have to offer abortion coverage in their insurance plans even if it goes against their religious beliefs, as would be the case for an Evangelical Christian bookstore.
Freedom of religion is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution and is a cornerstone and defining element of American society. Governor Hochul tosses this fundamental right aside to give a bone to billionaire-bankrolled Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion lobbying groups. Given the structure of insurance coverage post-Obamacare, not only would Part R force religious business owners to subsidize abortions of their employees even if it goes against their religious beliefs, but it would also force religious employees to subsidize other employees’ abortions as well. On top of the religious freedom concerns associated with this bill, it would also be a taxpayer dollar sinkhole.
Given recent unsettled Supreme Court litigation surrounding abortion and contraception coverage for religious businesses, this bill could lead to a waste of taxpayer funding. Pro-abortion AG Letitia James would have to defend the bill in federal court as numerous religious groups would certainly sue over the law. This federal litigation would cost New York taxpayers millions.
The left moved the goalposts; rather than aiming to make abortion “safe, legal and rare,” they now require on-demand, taxpayer-funded, late-term abortions up to and until the moment of birth (and also post-birth according to Democrat ex-Governor Northam of Virginia). The Democrat Party and Governor Hochul have turned their backs on religious New Yorkers to appease a globalist billionaire cabal that believes abortions are necessary to reduce population growth, slow global warming, and destroy the family as a social unit. The New York Young Republican Club is ardently pro-life and pro-religious freedom, and we stand wholeheartedly against Part R of the proposed budget.

During this transformative time for the New York Young Republican Club, many of you have reached out to us asking how to get more involved with the club, and how to better support our efforts.
One effective way to do this is to join a committee. We are currently looking for Vice-Chairs for many of our committees, who will receive special discounts for working events and recognition on our website. In addition to Vice Chair positions, we are looking to build all of our committees in terms of members.
Please take a moment to review our committees here and contact any committees you are interested in joining at the email address listed on the website. You are allowed to join up to 3 committees per our Bylaws.
To be a member of a committee you must be a member of the Club in Good Standing.
The New York Young Republican Club has caucuses that advocate for representation of their respective interests in the Club and Republican Party. We invite our members to become more active in our caucuses to promote Republican ideals throughout the five boroughs and beyond.
Any group of five Voting Members of the Club may petition the Board of Governors to charter a Caucus to forward ideas, advance an issue, represent a constituency, endorse candidates, or propose resolutions.
If you wish to join a caucus, please email the caucus’s chairman or chairwoman or make a submission via the link below.
The New York Young Republican Club is a grassroots non-profit organization that relies on the generosity of members and donors to support its operations. We hope you will consider a donation today so that we remain a bastion of conservative values for many years to come!
Established in 1911, incorporated in 1912, with a legacy from 1856, the New York Young Republican Club is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious Young Republican club in the United States.
