Roe v. Wade

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday that recent actions in the state will help keep abortion safe, legal and accessible, despite the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Friday to officially reverse Roe v. Wade.

With the prospect of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the New York Legislature has approved several measures to protect abortion providers. But a proposed equal rights amendment to the state’s constitution guaranteeing a right to the procedure remains stalled.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, in two national television appearances, said she’ll ask the federal government for aid to deal with the expected surge of people seeking abortions in New York if the Supreme Court acts on a draft opinion striking down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

One day after a leaked U.S. Supreme Court document indicated that the court is poised to strike down the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, Gov. Kathy Hochul strongly defended a woman’s right to choose abortion. She rallied with Planned Parenthood and supporters at the Capitol, delivering a warning to opponents.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul reacted to the Politico report that the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to overturn the landmark abortion rights decision Roe v. Wade, saying New York will help women from states where the procedure is outlawed.

In a matter of weeks, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to either overturn or substantially weaken its landmark Roe v. Wade decision. It has advocates on both sides of the abortion issue preparing — even in a Roe-friendly state like New York.

The US Supreme Court was hearing arguments Wednesday on a Mississippi abortion ban which many see as a case that could cut back on or revoke the Roe versus Wade decision allowing abortions across the country. New York’s own abortion legislation would be unaffected if the landmark 1973 decision is ultimately overturned, says a UB expert.
