In response to TM - who spouts Lies - I produced - seen below- the test of the law as written in NY State.
I labelled as fake news hysterical posts alleging babies would be aborted or killed at birth - hogwash.
TM - that is truly disgusting - but consistent with You DPST's - who view your own feelings as facts.

Let's take a look at the law passed by the State of NY
https://nyassembly.gov/leg/?default_...&Memo=Y&Text=Y
26
ARTICLE 25-A 27
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT 28
Section 2599-aa. Policy and purpose. 29
2599-bb. Abortion. 30
§ 2599-aa. Policy and purpose. The legislature finds that comprehen- 31
sive reproductive health care is a fundamental component of every indi- 32
vidual's health, privacy and equality. Therefore, it is the policy of 33
the state that: 34
1. Every individual has the fundamental right to choose or refuse 35
contraception or sterilization. 36
2. Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to 37
choose to carry the pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to 38
have an abortion, pursuant to this article. 39
3. The state shall not discriminate against, deny, or interfere with 40
the exercise of the rights set forth in this section in the regulation 41
or provision of benefits, facilities, services or information. 42
§ 2599-bb. Abortion. 1. A health care practitioner licensed, certi- 43
fied, or authorized under title eight of the education law, acting with- 44
in his or her lawful scope of practice, may perform an abortion when, 45
according to the practitioner's reasonable and good faith professional 46
judgment based on the facts of the patient's case: the patient is within 47
twenty-four weeks from the commencement of pregnancy, or there is an 48
absence of fetal viability, or the abortion is necessary to protect the 49
patient's life or health. 50
2. This article shall be construed and applied consistent with and 51
subject to applicable laws and applicable and authorized regulations 52
governing health care procedures.
feel free to click the link and read the full text - the newly passed law is above
It clearly states the criteria of within 24 weeks of commencement of pregnancy, or lack of fetal viability, or protect the patient's (mother's) life and health.
JS - You are correct that allegations about the law allowing abortion until 9 month birth are untrue
In addition, the text regarding practitioner within the lawful scope of practice: is standard for medical practice authorization.
This bill fits with Roe v Wade and standard state laws for abortion in most of the US - as I understand it.
I personally think abortion is a terrible choice - babies should be adopted out if needso- but it should be between a woman and her physician.
Punt the hysteria and keep it to the facts!
You are welcome, again, to click the link to the NY statute and read the complete bill - do so carefully - it can be misunderstood if not carefully read.
There are those - such as above - who will label this post fake news.
They are entitled to their own benighted DPST opinion as they are incapable of distinguishing their own feelings from Fact.
