“This decision by the president shows just how far this administration is willing to go to attack the rights and health care of women in this country. It’s morally reprehensible that in 2017, access to what has proven to be the most successful measure to prevent teen pregnancies and lowered abortion rates is being threatened.

“If the president is going to continue putting women’s health care in his crosshairs, it’s up to us in New York State to take a stand ourselves, and continue fighting for the rights of our sisters, mothers, daughters, friends and neighbors.”
