Addressing New York’s New Abortion Law
Q: Does the new New York law allow full-term abortions?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
New York’s Reproductive Health Act was signed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Jan. 22, the anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion. It’s a measure that abortion-rights advocates in New York have long sought to pass but couldn’t previously get through a Republican-controlled state Senate. Democrats now control both chambers of the Legislature.
The new law codifies a woman’s right to access abortion in New York — and has also prompted speculation and claims.
