Other State Revenue Legislation to Counter Texas SB 8.

What’s happening? New York will establish the New York State Abortion Access Fund, a state-run account comprised of voluntary donations from taxpayers to fund access and travel for abortions for New York residents and nonresidents.

Why is this important? New York’s action follows more than 50 large corporations who will financially support women in need of an abortion outside of Texas.

How will this be important? New York Governor Hochul said, “”Abortion access is safe in New York – the rights of those who are seeking abortion services will always be protected here. This plan will affirm that in our state, and leaders like Senator Gillibrand will fight on a national level. To the women of Texas, I want to say I am with you. Lady Liberty is here to welcome you with open arms.”
