Thank you for joining this week’s edition of the Albany Update.
Governor Kathy Hochul’s latest mask mandate dominated the news cycle this week. I’ll lay out some of the specifics.
Next up, there was a decision from the United States Supreme Court regarding religious exemptions from vaccination for health care workers. It wasn’t an encouraging one for proponents of religious liberty.
Then, we’ll discuss what New York might look like after Roe is struck down. Here’s a hint—an abortion tourism industry could crop up in our state.
Abortion isn’t the only life issue we’re focused on, though. In January, we expect the fight against assisted suicide to resume in full force.
Finally, this is also the week we celebrate Christmas. Despite the political woes of our day, we are grateful for the Savior.
Let’s get started.
