New York’s Post-Roe Abortion Plan

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. Nearly half of U.S. states will move to totally ban abortion if Roe is overturned — many states already have. Meanwhile, access to abortion and other reproductive care is already non-existent in many parts of the country — even for some people right here in New York. If Roe falls, New York's existing protections for abortion won't be enough to ensure access. 

We must take action to make abortion access a reality for all New Yorkers now.

With Roe v. Wade in danger in front of the Supreme Court, and states already obliterating abortion rights and access to care, it is critical that New York take a stand now to protect and expand access to abortion in our state. Take Action: Tell your lawmakers to break down barriers to abortion in New York. 

Across the country, states are seeking to ban and eliminate access to abortion care. In New York, we are working to expand access to reproductive health care so that all people – both New Yorkers and those who need to travel to get care – can get the care they need in our state.
