New York will pay abortion costs for those travelling from other states
Jezebel ^ | 18 June 2019 | emily alford

New York City has set aside $250,000 to cover abortion expenses for uninsured people with a third of the money specifically earmarked for those traveling from outside the city seeking access to safe and legal abortion. The fund makes New York the first city in the country to designate money specifically for abortions.

The relatively small amount will probably help around 500 people get abortions through the New York Abortion Access Fund, but lawmakers also see the money as a statement against abortion bans taking place in other parts of the country.

"The abortion access fund provides payment to clinics on behalf of women who might not be able to pay for abortions, but are not covered by insurance or Medicaid. Roughly a third of the fund goes to women who come to New York for abortions.”

..City Councilwoman and chairwoman of the Council’s Women’s Caucus Carlina Rivera says that in the days before Roe v. Wade, the city’s less rigid abortion laws made New York a safer space for those looking to end pregnancies. She hopes to once again make the city “the beacon for the rest of the country.”

I just don’t understand why these slime bags are practically frothing at the mouth, to kill as many babies as possible. I think Rush was right some years ago. Abortion is the Sacrament in the religion of radical feminism/liberalism. They will have much to answer for.

Another leak in the leaky out of control Democrat State. It will be a magnet for trouble.

Also looks like NY is trying to follow California in Health Care for illegal immigrants too; a surefire way to bankrupt the state.

Instead of investing in the future and infrastructure, NYV invests in death, terrorism and welfare waste.

Abortion for advancing a career is the big lie. Most have to do with abandoning everything

Meanwhile, many dual eligible seniors in this state, folks on Medicare and Medicaid, don’t get decent healthcare.

Paying for abortion for out-of-state folks and other illegals...yet NY will continue to get the support of those who allow this crap until the last producer turns off the lights on the way out.

I was given a book many years ago called the Rainbow Goblins. This picture was in the book, but with goblins.

I can’t tell you how much I loathe the leaders in New York and all the absurd legislation. We just passed a climate bill....insane.

Gee, I like the cover. Looks interesting. Almost like a Maxfield Parrish painting.

Albany is replacing makers with takers.

It won’t end well.

Good news for the rest of the nation: Smart money says we lose 2 more House seats after the next census.

BTW, did you see what else they did before adjourning? The changes to workplace sexual harassment law and allowing farm workers to unionize?

Weirdest thing is I believe people of color have more abortions then whites. You’d think democrats would hate that.
