New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she will convene an extraordinary session of the Legislature on Friday to consider enshrining abortion access in the state’s constitution and to enact a package of gun safety measures.
The actions are in response to recent Supreme Court decisions to strike down Roe v. Wade and New York’s concealed-carry law.
