The law specifically aims to protect New York doctors who use telehealth systems to prescribe abortion pills for patients in states where abortion is banned.
Hochul."With this bill, New York is continuing to fight back against restrictive abortion laws and help more people access the care they need."
The bill specifically aims to protect doctors in New York who are using telehealth systems — which allow them to take on patients residing in other states. Telehealth allows those patients from having to travel out-of-state in order to undergo an abortion. It builds upon legislation passed last year that aimed to protect New York reproductive health care providers from out-of-state litigation, but specifically addresses telehealth — which had not been named in the 2022 laws.
"I continue to be deeply concerned with anti-choice activists' efforts to undermine doctors in their ability to adequately provide for their patients and to undermine the patient's control of their own body," said Assemblymember Karines Reyes, a registered nurse herself, who sponsored the bill. "These anti-choice bills have a tangibly negative impact on patients' health and well-being and New York refuses to stand for it," Reyes added.
