Governor Kathy Hochul signed a robust legislative package to protect abortion rights Monday ahead of an impending Supreme Court decision that could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade.
Hundreds of onlookers watched as Hochul signed six landmark abortion rights legislative bills in the Great Hall at Cooper Union, located at 7 East 7th St. — a notable site that has a rich history for hosting women’s rights activists, such as suffragettes Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Candy Stanton, and activist Gloria Steinem.
