I have to do what’s smart, what’s right, and I’m consulting with other leaders in government at this time.

We have taken all the steps we can to protect this doctor, to continue allowing her to continue practicing what we believe is reproductive health, which I believe is an essential right.

Louisiana has changed their laws, but that has no bearing on the laws here in the state of New York. Doctors take an oath to protect their patients. I took an oath of office to protect all New Yorkers, and I will uphold not only our constitution, but also the laws of our land.

The change is cruel and petty.

I will not be signing an extradition order that came from the governor of Louisiana. Not now, not ever.

I will not be coming there... I did not want to go down there and give any credibility to this brazen attempt.

The law has been upheld by the courts time and again.

I expect Pam Bondi's worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit to be a total failure, just like all the others.

I did not want to go down there and give any credibility to this brazen attempt to have our laws undermined by the federal government.

I will never under any circumstances turn this doctor over to the state of Louisiana under any extradition request.
