State Dems’ Next Goal: Abortion Funding for All
Spending $35 million of taxpayers’ money to aid abortion providers if Roe v. Wade is struck down is irresponsible (“Hochul’s Perverse Priority,” Editorial, May 12).
But if Gov. Hochul insists on doing it, then why not divert this money from the $850 million in taxpayer dough that she plans to spend on a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills?
That still leaves some $815 million in tax dollars for the extravagant gift to her hometown.

So Hochul wants New York’s taxpaying citizens to fund up to $35 million to pay for any woman who wants an abortion to get one.
She may come to New York from anywhere, citizen or not, and we will pay all her expenses, including the procedure, travel, housing and meals.
Whatever happened to accountability and “pay your fair share” — that phrase politicians like to throw around? Jim Grant

Inflation is skyrocketing, gas prices are out of
control, yet the Democratic politicians have the audacity to propose paying for any women’s abortion regardless of where they live or whatever their citizenship.
It’s ridiculous and getting worse daily. If they have that much extra taxpayer money, they should start cutting tolls or reducing taxes. Robert Leavy

If taxpayers needed one more reason to pack up and leave New York, Democratic Assemblywoman Jessica GonzálezRojas and state Sen. Cordell Cleare just called
U-Haul for them (“NY bill would fund migrant abortions,” May 10).
They are the co-conspirators — I mean cosponsors — of a bill forcing New York taxpayers to pay for out-of-staters and illegal aliens to get abortions in New York.
New Yorkers would also be forced to reimburse them for their trip expenses and lost wages.
Listen up, Gov. Hochul: The next sound you hear will be the backup beeps of 10,000 moving vans. Jack Kaufman

Assemblywoman González-Rojas and others of her ilk want New York to become the abortion capital of America.
Progressives like González-Rojas can’t do enough for illegal immigrants, but give little thought to their own constituents.
It’s time to vote out these virtue-signaling progressives, and seek candidates who will address issues like crime and inflation.
