Kathy Hochul on Abortion

Extremists won't stop at any one particular drug or service

Overturning Roe changed nothing in NY, because I'm governor

Still, he did not directly answer a question from the moderators asking whether he would sign off on new restrictions if Republicans took hold of the state legislature--something Zeldin insisted was immaterial because "it's not happening."

Hochul returned to the issue frequently, touting the state law and promising to protect it from conservative politicians like Zeldin. "What we have in New York state is simply a codification of Roe v. Wade," Hochul said, when asked if she would put any restrictions on abortion. She then added, "You know why nothing changed the day after the Dobbs decision? It's because I'm the governor of New York and he's not."

"I am deeply grateful for the support of NARAL Pro-Choice New York," said Hochul. "Once in Congress, I will fight alongside NARAL Pro-Choice New York to ensure women have access to safe and adequate health services, without any interference from the federal government."
