New York State Assembly Is Acting On Assisted Suicide
NewYorkFamilies.org (https://newyorkfamilies.org/) Welcome to this week’s edition of The Albany Update, your source for news on New York State policy and politics from a distinctly Christian perspective.
In this week’s program, we’ve got a timely update concerning assisted suicide legislation that is moving this week in the State Capitol. We’ll tell you where the bill is at and then go in-depth as to why we should all oppose state-sanctioned suicide.
Then, an important argument was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court last week that could impact parental rights when it comes to opting children out of school lessons that parents find objectionable.

Hochul Polls Poorly As Candidates Consider Challenge
NewYorkFamilies.org (https://newyorkfamilies.org/) Welcome to this week’s edition of The Albany Update, your source for news on New York State policy and politics from a distinctly Christian perspective. Jason McGuire, the executive director of New York Families Foundation, is your host.
At New York Families, we envision a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished. In each episode of The Albany Update, Jason delivers insight and analysis about what is happening at the State Capitol in Albany, NY and at our nation’s Capital in Washington, D.C.
In this week’s program, we’ll look at Governor Kathy Hochul’s habitually sagging poll numbers. Those poor numbers may leave her ripe for a gubernatorial challenge in 2026. Then, Jason introduces listeners to a terrible piece of legislation that would provide a tax credit for those relocating to New York to provide or receive an abortion or so-called “gender-affirming care.” Finally, on a more positive note, there is a possibility that a school choice bill could make it through Congress.
