Gov. Hochul signed a bill protecting doctors who prescribe abortion pills for out-of-state patients into law almost a year to the day after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Christinafantv reports.
The president's executive order strengthens access to birth control pills through the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid services. It serves to ensure access to pills for veterans and service members through other federal programs. "We never thought that there would be a day where Roe v. Wade would be reversed," said Leah Maignan, of Plainfield,"In this day and age there are other things we should be concerned about, not ripping away the rights of women.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is also seeking the GOP's nomination, dismissed the notion that the abortion rights debate would hurt Republicans on the ballot. "The cause of life is the calling of our time and we must not rest and must not relent until we restore the sanctity of life," said Pence. "We will continue to stand on the side of women," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. In:
