When New York legalized abortion in 1970, nearly two-thirds of New York City’s abortions were for women from elsewhere. A new surge is happening.
New York State allows abortion up to 24 weeks with NO limitations. NO age restrictions. NO requirements that you notify parents or partners, NO waiting periods.
