(WNY News Now) In response to a Texas lawsuit that targets telemedicine abortion care, Attorney General Letitia James has pledged to protect New York abortion providers against out-of-state legal challenges.
In response to a lawsuit brought by the Texas Attorney General against a New York-based physician who offers telemedicine abortion services, New York Attorney General Letitia James released a firm statement on Friday.
In New York, abortion is and will remain protected and legal. New York is delighted to be a safe haven for access to abortion care, while other states take action to target people who receive or provide abortion care. We will never back down in the face of threats or intimidation, and we will always defend our providers against unfair attempts to penalize them for carrying out their duties. I’ll keep standing up for New Yorkers’ right to reproductive freedom and justice, even in the face of anti-choice onslaught from outside the state.
