We may have the bond of being baptized Catholic New York women with “K” in our somewhat similar names, but I don’t think Kathy Hochul would like me. I’d like New Yorkers to be so kind to women that no mother would ever feel like she would have to have an abortion. She’d like the Statue of Liberty to welcome women from all over to have their abortions here.

Right now she’s faced with a choice about what to do with the assisted-suicide legislation that just passed in the statehouse. It’s dangerous. It’s unnecessary. Even members who voted for it registered reservations. And with good reason.
