BPCLC Co-Chair Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins @leaderasc.bsky.social spoke today at the @ppgnyact.bsky.social Reproductive Rights Rally. We are not going back! There is no freedom without access!
It was a pleasure to speak at the Planned Parenthood Reproductive Rights Rally this morning at the State Capitol in the Legislative Office Building. There is an army in this capitol fighting with and for you! We are not going back. There is "no freedom without access." #StandWithPP

Tech companies shouldn't be able to sell your private reproductive health data, especially now when women and families are under attack from state and federal governments. I urge @GovKathyHochul to protect NYers and sign the Health Information Privacy Act. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...
New Yorkers' health data faces tighter protection under new bill
A sweeping measure to clamp down on sensitive health information will likely face staunch opposition from technology companies.

Abortion care is health care, whether it is sought by choice or by medical necessity. It is tragic and an outrage, but no surprise, that abortion bans are causing maternal deaths. Access to abortion care should not be based on where a person lives.
