In New York, late abortions were allowed if a woman’s health is in danger

New York State has introduced new legal measures to protect the right to abortion. The new law, signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo, has a provision that allows abortion in late periods if the woman’s health is threatened.

The previous state law, which has been in effect for almost 50 years, allowed abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy only if the pregnancy carried a threat to the woman’s life, writes CBS.

“We say that in New York, women's lives matter. We say that in New York, women's decisions matter," said Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins ​​State.

The enacted Reproductive Health Act replaces the state abortion law of 1970, which was passed three years before abortion was legalized throughout the country.

The new law moves the section of state law on abortion from the criminal code to health legislation. He also allows midwives and physician assistants to perform abortions, and not just doctors, as was the case before.

Over the years, proponents of abortion have pushed state legislators to update the abortion law. When the Democrats gained control of the state Senate this year, the act got a better chance of adoption.

Republicans who opposed the bill proposed creating new legal sanctions for harming pregnant women. Some critics argue that the bill may make it difficult to bring charges when a woman is attacked and she loses a child, although Democrats dispute this allegation. Some opponents of the innovation also predict that the bill will lead to later abortions.

According to the New York State Department of Health, 2012 2014 abortions were performed in the state between 285 and 127 for the year. The number of newborns in the same three years was 237 499. The vast majority of abortions in the United States occur in the first trimester of pregnancy.
