NY Abortion Laws Give Pro-Lifers Opportunity
When New York’s legislature passed the now infamous Reproductive Health Act (RHA) in January, the nation staggered and drew back in shame and horror. People are shocked and disgusted at the barbarity of a State legislature applauding the fabricated human right to kill preborn boys and girls. It was as if people of conscience suddenly
The Hidden Impact of NY’s Reproductive Health Act
New York did not actually legalize late-term abortion via the Reproductive Health Act. Late-term abortion has always been legally available to women in NY based on the broadly defined category of the health of the mother. The material change is that the new law defined abortion as a human right. On that point there is
New York to Investigate Non-Profit Pregnancy Centers?
New York State is considering a measure targeting small non-profit pregnancy centers for investigation.

The Reproductive Health Act is Law… Now What?
The Reproductive Health Act (RHA) is now law, making abortion a fundamental right and deregulating it through all nine months of pregnancy. Why did the NY legislature do this? What does this mean for pro-life Christians? Why did NY pass the RHA? They are preparing for the overturning of Roe v Wade, which will push the
How the New Reproductive Health Law Impacts You
By now you have probably heard that after years of failed attempts the New York legislature overwhelmingly passed the Reproductive Health Act (RHA). The RHA was signed into law by Governor Cuomo shortly after it passed. Abortion is now a fundamental human right in NY. This new right will eventually clash with your freedom of speech and freedom of religion, which is so crucial to how CompassCare reaches and serves women considering abortion.
RHA Passes—NY vs Christians
Recently, the New York legislature passed the Reproductive Health Act, pitting abortion rights against freedom of religion. The board is set. The game is on. The law paves the way to force pro-life Christians to facilitate abortion against their deeply held religious beliefs. Depending on how the bill is interpreted, refusal to participate in
Unrestricted Abortion
An extreme minority of people think that unrestricted abortion is a good idea. And yet, the New York legislature is expected to pass a bill in January, called the Reproductive Health Act, totally deregulating abortion. Imagine your 12 year old daughter wants an appendectomy and there’s a bill permitting nurses to perform appendectomies without
