ALBANY — Lee Zeldin is trying to have it both ways on abortion.
The conservative congressman from Long Island, who hopes to unseat Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, has recently argued that he will leave New York’s abortion laws in place in recent ads and appearances.
However, the Republican has a long history of anti-abortion stances, including calling for the overturning of a 2019 law protecting access to reproductive health care and vowed earlier this year to appoint a “pro-life” health commissioner if elected governor.
