New York Officials Defend Mifepristone Access
New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Alistair Martin issued a statement Saturday confirming that Mifepristone remains legal and available in person in New York. This follows a federal appeals court ruling on Friday night that prohibits health providers from dispensing the abortion pill by mail. The statement aims to clarify access following the judicial decision. Governor Hochul expressed concern regarding decisions to restrict access to Mifepristone, describing it as a safe and effective medication. Access is available in person through sexual health clinics and an abortion access hub. The hub provides assistance with finding providers, booking appointments, and covering travel costs.
