WOMEN'S ALLIANCE AGAINST VIOLENCE/TMS 

Victims Challenge New York’s Reproductive Health Act in Historic Lawsuit

PRESS RELEASE

"[V]ictims of domestic violence and others filed a class action lawsuit against Governor Andrew Cuomo challenging the constitutionality of New York’s Reproductive Health Act (RHA). The plaintiffs seek to vindicate rights for women and children affected by changes in New York law under the RHA.

This class action represents the first time a New York abortion law is challenged for violating both women’s rights and the rights of children, including viable unborn children. The complaint, among other things, asks the court to acknowledge First Amendment rights for women whose unborn children are killed by assailants, to clarify dangerous ambiguities in the RHA that impact women, and to affirm existing, but previously unrecognized, rights for near-term unborn children and children who survive abortion. Plaintiffs are represented by a team of attorneys serving as special counsel to the Women’s Alliance Against Violence, an initiative formed to challenge the RHA and other laws that increase violence against women and children."
