New York proposal would protect doctors who send abortion pills across state lines

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : The measure, which will be considered by Gov. Kathy Hochul, is among a wave of state-level abortion bills taken up nationwide in the year since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the nationwide right to abortion.
44% : A year after the Dobbs ruling, 14 states have bans on abortion throughout pregnancy -- with some exceptions -- while other states have adopted deep restrictions.
39% : "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.
39% :"This legislation is nothing more than political pandering - eroding standards through which doctors can be held accountable in order to appear progressive on the issue of abortion," Kristen Curran, the conference's director of government relations, said in a prepared statement.
33% : Under the measure, New York officials would be barred from cooperating with certain legal actions initiated in states where abortion is banned, such as arrests or extraditions.
