While states across the country enact legislation that severely restricts access to abortion care, one lawmaker is touting New York’s commitment to reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy.

The legislation, if approved, would amend the state finance and tax laws to allow taxpayers to make a charitable gift on their personal income tax returns to organizations like Planned Parenthood and other clinics.
