How Are We Going to Fix It Expand the Reproductive Freedom and Equity Grant Program to cover expenses like travel and childcare for those seeking abortion Empower the Dept of Health to investigate and fine fake abortion clinics (Crisis Pregnancy Centers) Pass the Gender-Affirming Care Access Program to directly fund lifesaving treatment Pass the NY Health Information Privacy Act to stop tech companies from weaponizing personal health data
What's the Issue In AD-38 and across the country, the Trump administration is attacking our bodily autonomy. The government has no place interfering with our medical decisions, from patients seeking abortions to trans people seeking gender-affirming care. Even when your legal rights to medical procedures are enshrined, these rights mean nothing if you can't afford the necessary travel, time off work, or procedure itself.
Word bubble over David Orkin's head that reads "Bodily Autonomy"
What's the issue Healthcare is a human right, but in AD-38 and across the state, patients and caretakers are struggling under the same broken system that both denies care and exploits workers. No one should ever be forced to choose between paying for medical care or paying their rent. Likewise, nurses, home care workers, and others who provide essential care to New Yorkers should be guaranteed high quality, stable jobs in the healthcare industry.
Word bubble: Healthcare for all! With photo of David Orkin
