Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan talks to a crowd of supporters at the Senate House Garage in Kingston, N.Y., on Tuesday night, Aug. 24, 2022, after the race for the special election in the 19th Congressional District was called in his favor.

“A woman’s right to choose is one of this country’s foundational freedoms, and there is no place for government interference in these private medical decisions, yet extremist state lawmakers are restricting access to FDA-approved abortion medication and even threatening to open Americans’ mail to stop the delivery of doctor-prescribed healthcare services,” Ryan said in a press release announcing the measure.
Since January, legislators in at least 20 states have proposed bills that would restrict or ban access to those abortion pills, which were approved more than two decades ago by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as well as bills that would require women to obtain those medications from a doctor in person.
In July, the House of Representatives passed The Women’s Health Protection Act, a bill to codify Roe v. Wade, which was overturned by the Supreme Court. That bill would have to be picked up by the Senate to move forward.
