Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams made several promises during his speech on women’s health, one of which was free access to abortion pills. Adams proceeded to speak about “vaginal discomfort” and noted that “[w]e would have a lot more research and care option for women’s health if we weren’t so afraid of saying the word vagina.” The mayor also expressed his desire to “create more menopause-friendly workplaces for our city workers through improving policies and our buildings.”
From The Blaze:
As might be expected, Adams also paid homage to men who identify as women. Alongside famous female figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Shirley Chisholm, Adams referenced Marsha P. Johnson, a drag queen and "gay liberation" activist who died, perhaps by suicide, in 1992. Adams also promised that New York would soon become a "city where our LGBTQI+ New Yorkers can get the healthcare they need." And while Adams verbally mentioned "women" when discussing the disparate maternal mortality rates of black and white mothers, a city press release instead altered that language and referred instead to "Black pregnant people" and "white pregnant people."
