Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced a bill guaranteeing abortion rights that would align New York and U.S. law and may win over Republicans in next year’s elections.
The measure would decriminalize abortions after 24 weeks when a woman’s health -- not just life -- is at risk. Cuomo, a 55-year-old Democrat, says his bill would protect women if the U.S. Supreme Court rolls back its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision recognizing the right.
