New Yorks Scab Gov Goes Bill-Writing Berserk Over Roe
New York Governor Kathy Hochul managed to get her hands on more than $35 billion in taxpayer funds in what she claims will be used to continue abortions in New York. As if they were ever in jeopardy in the deep blue state? Hochul justified this cash grab by saying 'the sky is falling' as the Supreme Court favors the return of abortion rights being handed back to the states.
“My friends, the sky is literally on the verge of falling in the next week or two and that’s why we are here today,” Hochul said in reference to the upcoming Supreme Court ruling.
“The right to control our own bodies is supposed to be settled by now, or so we thought,” she added.
The legislation is intended “to immediately protect abortion access and reproductive rights,” according to Hochul.
“This is my message to those who are trying to take away the fundamental right to an abortion: Not here. Not now. Not ever,” Hochul said in a Twitter post.

In another Twitter post, Hochul referred to the legislation as “a nation-leading legislative package to protect abortion and reproductive rights for all.”

“The Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade this month – but New York will be ready,” Hochul said in a statement earlier this month ahead of signing the legislation.
“Like the vast majority of Americans, I was horrified to learn that extremists on the court are likely to strip away the right to an abortion by overturning Roe. This decision, once announced, will have devastating consequences for the health, wellbeing and economic security of millions of women across this country,” she added.

Despite what the media would have you believe, handing back abortion laws to the individual states is not the same thing as banning abortions nationwide. Just off the top of my head, California and New York would be the last states I could ever see banning abortions in any form so there is no way you could convince me this wasn't a money grab.
