Episode 1802: Mayor Adams Promotes Tele-Abortion Services
Description
In this week’s episode of the Albany Update, we discuss New York City’s plan to provide chemical abortion pills without even requiring an in-person meeting with a medical professional.

In state news, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a series of human-trafficking bills into law.
Then, in federal news, we take note of the fact that too many of New York’s congressional delegation voted to continue funding for LGBT pride celebrations in the U.S. military.
