ACT Access, the sponsors of A1709A/S1066A New York State Assemblymember Karines Reyes, New York State Senator Shelley B. Mayer, and abortion medication access advocates, gathered to urge Assembly Speaker Heastie and Governor Hochul to join the Senate in passing A1709A/S1066A. This legislation provides the strongest possible protections to doctors, midwives, and other healthcare personnel who serve patients in hostile states seeking abortion via telehealth. As states across the country restrict access to abortion, the New York Legislature has a moral responsibility to make every effort to assist women around the country seeking access to basic medical care. Medication abortion providers and supporters including the Coalition for Telemedicine Access, New York State Academy of Family Physicians, Medical Students for Choice, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Advocates for Youth, and Adirondack Voters for Change joined the rally.
