(AP Photo\/Jason DeCrow)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 11:00 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, May 10, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>The Empire State intends to put taxpayer funds towards abortions as New York races to expand access and funding in the event Roe v. Wade is overturned.<\/p>\n<p>At a press conference Tuesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D-N.Y.) touted the <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/press-release\/2022\/attorney-general-james-takes-action-expand-abortion-access\">Reproductive Freedom and Equity Program<\/a>. James stressed the Democrat-sponsored bill will help to allocate funds to abortion providers and make the state a safe haven for abortion seekers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThese funds will help New Yorkers who need financial support to seek abortions,\u201d said James. \u201cIt will also provide and support the influx of individuals who have and will continue to come to New York from other states to seek abortions\u2026if Roe is overturned, 26 states will ban or are likely to ban abortion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Assemblywoman Jessica Gonz\u00e1lez-Rojas (D-N.Y.) has hailed the bill\u2019s equitable approach towards abortions as it will help women receive an abortion regardless of their immigration or insurance status. However, James added, that individuals will not be receiving payments as funding will go directly to institutions that perform abortions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis will not go to individuals, but actually to abortion providers and nonprofit organizations aimed at facilitating access to abortion care,\u201d said James. \u201cThe funding would specifically go to increase access to health care and will also fund uncompensated care and to address the support needs of individuals accessing abortion care.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The program is estimated to cost New York taxpayers tens of millions of dollars per year and will cover the lodging, lost wages and childcare costs of women seeking abortions from out of state.<\/p>\n<p>Some critics, such as Republican Assemblyman John Salka (R-N.Y.) has called the bill outrageous while claiming the state is ignoring the numerous other health issues that plague New York.<\/p>\n<p>However, James holds abortion in such high regards that she has voiced her support to embed access to the procedure into the state Constitution.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThat\u2019s why I came out over the weekend in support of a constitutional amendment,\u201d added James. \u201cThe governor supports the effort\u2026I join her in supporting a constitutional amendment to protect the right to privacy, which is implicit in our Constitution.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Governor Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) has largely attached herself to the pro-abortion movement in her re-election bid, even calling upon Congress to codify Roe v. Wade into the US Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>New York has the second highest abortion rate in the country behind the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/speaker-pelosi-republicans-want-to-punish-control-women\/\">Speaker Pelosi: Republicans Want To Punish, Control Women<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks at a rally in support of abortion rights, Tuesday, May 3, 2022, in New York.
