“It is infuriating that this Supreme Court, made up of a majority of white men, has made the outrageous decision to disregard decades of established law and our right to self-determination. The Supreme Court seems to believe that guns have more rights than women to determine what is best for their bodies. Access to safe abortions and reproductive healthcare is an essential human right that must be safeguarded. This ruling will harm and endanger the lives of millions of women, trans, and gender non-conforming individuals across the country. New York has taken actions to strengthen access to safe reproductive care, and our city will take additional steps to remain a welcoming place for all people who seek abortion care. It is incumbent on the U.S. Senate to take immediate action that ensures reproductive rights are protected across the United States by passing federal legislation. We will fight back using every lever of power within our control.”
