Even if the Supreme Court does overturn Roe v. Wade, as noted in a draft majority opinion that was leaked to Politico Monday night, women in New York will still enjoy their right to reproductive health in the Empire State.
New York State enacted the Reproductive Health Act in 2019 protecting New York women’s right to access safe and legal abortions. But the potentially overturn of Roe v. Wade — which would trigger abortion bans in at least 15 states across the Union — could mean an influx of patients flooding into New York in order to receive care.
