‘I’ll never back down’: Hochul doubles down on pledge to protect reproductive rights in signing new prescription laws

By Jada Camille Posted on February 3, 2025

In a powerful demonstration of support for reproductive rights, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed new legislation designed to strengthen New York’s position as a sanctuary for reproductive health care in America.

This measure aims to protect the privacy of medical professionals in an era of increasing hostility toward reproductive healthcare, both from state governments and the federal level.
