New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a law that shields abortion providers in the state from civil and criminal liability in other states. The law allows abortion pill bottles to display the name of the prescribing health care practice instead of the individual provider’s name, enhancing privacy protections. It also blocks extradition from New York, prevents state agencies from cooperating with out-of-state investigations, and shields telemedicine providers from penalties under other states’ laws. This move comes amid a national debate over abortion access.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul speaks to reporters after a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House on July 3, 2024, in Washington, D.C.for prescribers of abortion pills in the state. The new law permits abortion pill bottles to display the name of the prescribing health care practice instead of the individual provider’s name in an effort to safeguard New York providers from civil and criminal liability in other states.
“Reproductive freedom will always be protected in the State of New York — and I’ll never back down from this fight,” Hochul. “I’m taking action to strengthen protections for health care professionals and their patients, ensuring New York is a safe haven for anyone providing or receiving reproductive care.”Dobbs v.
