Go to top] is old law to be omitted. SA LBD05658-02-9S. 240 2 A. 21 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that comprehen- 2 sive reproductive health care, including contraception and abortion, is 3 a fundamental component of a woman's health, privacy and equality. The 4 New York Constitution and United States Constitution protect a woman's 5 fundamental right to access safe, legal abortion, courts have repeatedly 6 reaffirmed this right and further emphasized that states may not place 7 undue burdens on women seeking to access such right. 8 Moreover, the legislature finds, as with other medical procedures, the 9 safety of abortion is furthered by evidence-based practices developed 10 and supported by medical professionals. Abortion is one of the safest 11 medical procedures performed in the United States; the goal of medical 12 regulation should be to improve the quality and availability of health 13 care services. 14 Furthermore, the legislature declares that it is the public policy of 15 New York State that every individual possesses a fundamental right of 16 privacy and equality with respect to their personal reproductive deci- 17 sions and should be able to safely effectuate those decisions, including 18 by seeking and obtaining abortion care, free from discrimination in the 19 provision of health care. 20 Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to prevent the enforce- 21 ment of laws or regulations that are not in furtherance of a legitimate 22 state interest in protecting a woman's health that burden abortion 23 access. 24 § 2.

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.
