Reproductive Rights Series: The New York State Landscape (Part 2)
New York has always been a leader when it comes to access to reproductive health care. We legalized abortion in 1970, three years before Roe v. Wade and put-up billboards on the borders advertising that abortion was safe, legal, and available here. As it became clear that the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v.
