    State Senator Shelley Mayer on Abortion

    New York State Senator Shelley Mayer joins Shannon today to talk about how New York can expand access to abortion care nationwide. Blue states like New York passed laws protecting abortion care providers from prosecution for those traveling from states with abortion bans. Telemedicine shield laws take that a step further, protecting doctors who prescribe pills to out of state women seeking to have abortions at home. Sen. Mayer discusses her bill that offers those protections in New York.

  5. The New York Court Of Appeals Vacancy

    The New York Court Of Appeals Vacancy

    All eyes are on the New York Court of Appeals and the search for a new Chief Judge. Governor Kathy Hochul has until December 23rd to nominate one of seven possible candidates for the top job on state’s highest court. Former Chief Judge Janet DiFiore abruptly stepped down earlier this year. Many progressives blame her for the court’s drift to the right, including blocking congressional districts drawn by the legislature, a move that cost New York Democrats four house seats this cycle. In turn, progressive activists and advocacy groups have their own ideas about who should take DiFiore’s place. To talk about the vacancy, Shannon is joined by Peter Martin, Director of Judicial Accountability for The Center for Community Alternatives and a leader of the Court New York Deserves Coalition of which Indivisible Westchester is a member.
