'A six resignation kind of day' at DOJ following Trump's sketchy deal with NYC mayor Eric Adams

I want to be very clear on that. And to establish... that this is known across the state. We have sent out a law enforcement notice that certain out-of-state warrants are not enforceable in the state of New York. So anyone who possibly pulls over an individual or is involved in a situation where a doctor who is protected under our laws is told you are not to cooperate and enforce this extradition.

So I want to be clear that we have taken all the steps we can to protect this doctor, to continue allowing her to continue practicing what we believe is reproductive health, which I believe is an essential right.

We put this in place as soon as we heard about the overturning of Roe v. Wade. I need to protect our doctors because telemedicine is the number one reason people can get abortion pills. And two-thirds of all abortions are now by pills. And they've been approved by the FDA for 20 years. It's safe.

We have a doctor who's trying to help someone in another state who's denied the right of control over her own body, just doing what her oath requires her to do. And now she's treated like a criminal. It was not a tough decision for me, Rachel. I said, no and hell no. I will never, ever send this person into harm's way to stand for 15 years of possible jail time for just being a doctor.

And that's what our country's come to. This is the ripple effect of the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the stacking of the Supreme Court under the last of Trump administration. My mother's generation fought for these rights. My generation was able to take them for granted. And they're not there for my daughter's graduate, my daughter's generation.

My God, we've got to stand up and fight and let these women know. And I'm sorry for the sisters in these states where they're being repressed. But we should not allow government mandated pregnancies. That's what happens when women don't have control of their own body. So we're always proud to stand up for women's rights here in the state of New York.

I believe it is, because what they've set up was by saying this goes back to the individual states. Well, I have to stand up for my state laws. The law that I signed in 2022 and again updated in 2023 says I have a responsibility, a legal responsibility to protect this doctor and other providers who are exercising this form of care for women, even out of state.

So, yes, it'll probably end up in another judicial litigation situation. But We've got it. We can't just roll over and play dead here, Rachel. I mean, what are we supposed to do? Let this happen? No, we've got to fight for these rights. This is the place where the women's rights movement started in 1848.

We had reproductive rights passed by a Republican governor and Republican legislature three years before Roe v. Wade. Let's look at that history and have people start saying, my God, how did this happen? We cannot have this. And as a governor, I will always stand up for the people of my state.

It's truly all we have. As sad as that sounds, I served as a member of Congress when the House was Republicans, but we had Democratic leaders in the Senate. So there's always this firewall to stop crazy from happening. We don't have that anymore. I work so hard to elect enough Democrats to make Hakeem Jeffries the speaker just to be a counterbalance.
