State lawmakers announced a new push to expand abortion access Friday.
This includes increasing Medicaid payments to providers. They also want to shield doctors from interference at religiously-affiliated hospitals.
"Hostile policies right here in Connecticut have created an environment where health care providers are fearful or restricted from treating their patients. Any delay in time-sensitive care can be fatal," says state Rep. Aimee Berger Girvalo (D-Ridgefield).
