Italian translation:Se Washington pensa che
Explanation:
Washington inteso come governo centrale, la Casa Bianca (cioè Trump...).
Si parla ancora della possibile minaccia al diritto all'aborto dopo l'elezione nel nuovo giudice della Corte Suprema per mano di Trump...

"Se Washington pensa che queste donne non possano avere il controllo dei propri corpi(*), in base alla legge e alla propria volontà, beh, allora avranno un rifugio a New York."

(*)"non siano libere di decidere delle proprie vite e dei propri corpi"

Oh, per quanto riguarda l'espressione, quindi "wishes" è separato da "in someone's eyes", che da definizione è:

"according to what someone thinks or feels
In his mother’s eyes, the boy can do no wrong."

Reference information:
Senator Martin Malavé Dilan said, "We are obligated in this state to protect women from any attack upon their Constitutional rights. If they can't be free to have control over their own bodies and make their own decisions in accordance with the law and their wishes in Washington's eyes, then they will be in New York. This is the sad reality of our nation at the moment. We are seeing the separation of church and state and the right to self-determination being undermined, and it's all to appease an extremist minority. New York State must again stand up, as it has for centuries, and say, 'not here.'
