New York City health clinics will soon be able to offer abortion medication to patients for free as the city positions itself as a safe haven for abortion access following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene indicated that it has entered into a"sole source” contract with pharmaceutical wholesaler R&S Northeast to buy 200-milligram mifepristone tablets, which are used with misoprostol to induce an abortion, in order"to mitigate the threat to public health posed by the recent supreme court decision," according to a legal notice.

The Health Department has not disclosed how much government funding was spent on the contract nor how many abortion pills were purchased, though a fiscal impact report for City Council last year indicated the practice would mainly be funded through existing resources earmarked for the Health Department.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a plan that would also require all public colleges in the State University of New York and City University of New York systems to offer medication abortions or establish a relationship with a healthcare provider that provides abortions.

Free suicide pills next.

Even NYers hate themselves, letting mothers murder their own children. That’s a decision that can’t be reversed and stays with a murdering mother until she dies. Regret hastens death.

Hope money did not come from federal money. I don't have extra money for someone to have free sex and then have me pay for the abortion pill.

And demand billions for illegal aliens. Give them nothing

Kinda like the illegal sanctuary city fiasco

Ghouls.
