What is Governor Hochul's stance on extraditing doctors who provide abortion care to states with restrictive laws?
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has taken an unequivocal stance against extraditing medical professionals who provide abortion care. In her own emphatic words, she declared "I said no. In hell no," refusing to send a doctor into a situation where they could face up to 15 years of imprisonment simply for practicing medicine. Hochul's firm position demonstrates her commitment to protecting healthcare providers amid increasingly restrictive reproductive rights laws in certain states. Her refusal to cooperate with extradition requests represents a significant stand in the ongoing national debate over reproductive healthcare access and state autonomy on these issues.
