On February 3, 2025, Governor Kathy Hochul signed significant legislation reinforcing New York's commitment to safeguarding reproductive health care. The new law allows healthcare providers to have the name of their practice printed on prescription labels for abortion medications, rather than their personal names. This legislative action comes in response to legal threats against physicians, highlighted by a recent prosecution of a New York doctor in Louisiana. Hochul emphasized protecting doctors and patients against hostile state laws, while reaffirming New York's status as a safe haven amidst ongoing national challenges.
Reproductive freedom will always be protected in the State of New York - and I'll never back down from this fight.
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.
