Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, Gov. Ned Lamont of Connecticut, Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado, Gov. J.B.
The president said his administration will act to protect the "bedrock rights" of women traveling to other states for abortion services. And the administration will protect women's access to medical abortion pills the Food and Drug Administration has approved for decades, he said. The president acknowledged he lacks sufficient votes in the Senate to eliminate the filibuster to codify federal abortion rights at the moment.

Hochul, the first governor to speak, said New York is "prepared to serve as a destination" and "safe harbor" for women.
