Doctors in New York who prescribe abortion pills to patients in states where the procedure is illegal would be provided with legal protection under a bill approved by state lawmakers.
The measure also would protect those providers from professional discipline and malpractice insurance rate hikes. However, the bill would not bar other states from pressing charges, and it would not remove the threat of people being extradited if they travel beyond New York.
The New York bill would extend protections approved last year to protect reproductive health care providers from out-of-state litigation. New York is among 14 states that have enacted laws that protect people from out-of-state legal actions since 2022, according to the National Institute for Reproductive Health.
“These states that are stepping up right now, like New York has, are being really clear that they will not be complicit in any way in attempts by other states to engage in criminal prosecutions, professional sanction or civil action,” National Institute for Reproductive Health President Andrea Miller said.
