Kathy Hochul pushed for the abortion provider protection laws in New York in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court potentially overruling its 1973 Roe v. Wade’s decision, which could weaken or end abortion protections
Out-of-state residents accounted for nearly 9% — or 7,000 out of roughly 79,000 abortions — performed in New York in 2019, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s up from 5% — or roughly 4,700 out of 93,000 — in 2015.
And at a time when patients can receive virtual care, another new law will prevent insurers from taking action against New York health care providers who perform reproductive services that are illegal elsewhere. The National Abortion Federation says death threats against abortion providers more than doubled from 92 in 2019 to 200 in 2020.
