Gov. Hochul signs abortion bill protecting New York doctors serving out-of-state patients

by Joy

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill protecting New York-based doctors who prescribe abortion pills for out-of-state patients into law almost a year to the day after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Twenty states banned or limited abortion access since the high court’s ruling, while New York and 19 other states strengthened abortion rights.

The law enacted by Hochul on Friday will allow more patients to seek abortion care without having to travel far. It shields abortion providers serving those patients from litigation.
