Dangers of Abortion Pills

Legislation proposed in New York would allow women to obtain abortion medication after no more than a video call.  Governor Hochul and many New York State legislators support this bill, which would shield health care practioners from legal action in other states and prevent medical malpractice insurers from taking action against health care practitioners who provide these services. Learn about why this is an extremely dangerous bill in our latest episode of Capitol Compass.

In episode 27, Gillian chats with Joe Zalot, an ethicist from the National Catholic Bioethics Center. We discuss the dangers of abortion pills and currently proposed NYS legislation.

Proposed NY Legislation:
A1135: Defining the human embryo as “tissue”
S.1066-A : Prescribing Abortion Medication via Telehealth
S9444-A: Relates to requiring SUNY and CUNY to offer abortion by medication techniques at all on-campus student health centers
