New York AG Letitia James previously announced that the state would take steps to try and secure abortion protection ahead of any changes to Roe vs. Wade -- on Monday it was revealed that those changes in the state will start with funding.
James said a ban on abortions wouldn't stop individuals from actually getting them, rather it would stop people from obtaining safe abortions.
“Health care is a fundamental human right and abortion is an essential aspect of women’s health care,” Cleare said, adding"We will not be subject to the arbitrary whims of a politicized Supreme Court nor can we fund health care services via private fundraising — our women deserve better, and justice and equity demand it!” "Whether you know it or not, everyone loves someone who has had an abortion," she said.
Wednesday is expected to be a key day in the abortion rights issue as the Senate looks to codify reproductive rights in the federal law. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says this week's vote in the Senate will show American's where every senator stands on the issue.
