New York’s Post-Roe Abortion Plan
New York must go further to ensure meaningful access to abortion care for anyone who needs it.
New York state first opened its doors to abortion care five decades ago, and three years before the Court decided Roe. The Reproductive Health Act codifies Roe v. Wade in state law, recognizing abortion — and the whole range of reproductive care — as a fundamental right. Yet with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe, New York must go further to ensure meaningful access to abortion care for anyone who needs it.
The Way Forward
While abortion remains legal and available in New York, there are increasing, nationwide attacks on access to reproductive healthcare. Our state must close the gaps to abortion access that still exist. This means ensuring robust funding for abortion providers, as well as for the abortion funds and logistical support funds that make it possible for New Yorkers to access care.
Your Rights to Abortion Care 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.
