Good. Now maybe all the NYers who moved to FL will move back. 

Hochul says New York 'safe harbor' for abortion seekers; blames Trump in push to the polls


New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, said Sunday that the Empire State will be a "safe harbor" for those seeking an abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, arguing there will be a referendum on former President Donald Trump’s nominees come November at the polls.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s "The Sunday Show," Hochul said she already earmarked $35 million to abortion providers to beef up their services in anticipation of a flood of people coming to New York to receive abortions.

"We’re going to get a flood of people. I have declared this as our safe harbor," Hochul said. "This is where we have the Statue of Liberty welcoming people who are oppressed. Women who cannot receive the fundamental right to control their body or receive an abortion. They are oppressed. They are welcomed here in the state of New York."

In New York, where late-term abortions are already legal, the governor said she already signed legislation a week ago that protect providers from being sued in patients come from out of state for an abortion and noted how measures prevent anyone from being extradited from New York to be prosecuted elsewhere over an abortion. ..................

I suspect the Dobbs case, of itself, would have been approximately neutral in the 2022 ballot box. With the Pro-Abortion crazies burning down crisis pregnancy centers and attacking churches, I suspect the effect in the ballot box will hurt Dems.

I doubt any state is contemplating charging women criminally for crossing state lines to visit an "abortion haven" state to kill their babies, so the mention of extradition is not necessary and nothing but hysteria.

Also, would out-of-state women be more likely to sue a NY abortionist for the harm that so-called doctor did them than the local women? Very puzzling.

Especially since abortions will still be available in some states.

The only actual impediment to getting an abortion if you're really intent on killing your child is the high cost of transportation, which is Biden's fault.  Kind of ironic.

When was the abortion pill banned? All this hysteria and talk about traveling to different states so that an abortion mill can still make money selling the fetus BABY, why? I expect sales of the morning after pill to skyrocket and that there will be ads on TV for it just like Viagra.
