New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed new legislation aimed at bolstering reproductive rights and safeguarding abortion providers. The law enhances privacy by allowing healthcare practices to be listed instead of personal names on prescriptions, protecting providers from legal threats beyond state lines. It reflects a firm stance against external opposition and aims to shield both patients and medical professionals from potential harassment. Hochul's recent legislation follows earlier measures responding to threats against New York doctors by other states, reinforcing the state's commitment to women's health care rights.
The new law enhances New York's shield law by allowing medical providers to use the healthcare practice's address on prescriptions, enhancing privacy and safety.
Gov. Hochul emphasized that New York is committed to defending reproductive rights against outside interference, declaring attacks on civil liberties unwelcome.
