New York Governor Celebrates New $35 Million Abortion Pill Pipeline For College Women

On May 2, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul held a press conference, gleefully celebrating signing into law two abortion bills. One increases the ease of getting chemical abortions in New York for residents and out-of-state visitors, and the other ensures every student in a state-run university will be able to easily obtain chemical abortions on campus.

While her female supporters cheered, I cried. I cried because I know personally what it is like to live with having seen the body of my aborted baby. And I am not alone. Countless others will experience this too as a result of this legislation.

Thousands of women I have worked with over the past 25 years have suffered because of abortion, which all too often is not presented to them truthfully before their decision. They wrongly believe the lie that “life will go back to normal.” A woman I know is right now experiencing suicidal ideation because she still cannot believe she took the life of her baby.

Other women are pressured by boyfriends, husbands, and even parents to abort their unborn children only to deeply regret it and grow angry at themselves for not being stronger and standing up to them. Some women are left unable to have other children.
