New York is slated to become what abortion activists say would be the first city in the country to provide funding for abortions
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, both Democrats, announced a budget agreement Friday that included funding for individuals seeking abortions in the city.The move comes as part of a wave of abortion protections springing up in Democratic legislatures in response to a slew of Republican states advancing bills restricting abortion access.
"In contrast to efforts in states like Missouri and Alabama to restrict abortion access,"this is to help low-income women in New York City who have faced barriers to access to health care get the care that they need and that they deserve," he said. De Blasio also expressed support for the measure, saying,"We understand that there are women who need help and are having trouble getting the help they need, and the city had an opportunity here to step up.
