Why this petition matters

Started by Feminists Choosing Life of New York

Feminists Choosing Life of New York opposes A.08743, which requires SUNY institutions to offer abortion by medication techniques at all on-campus health centers and the creation of a fund to help finance the implementation of offering these services because:
- SUNY Health Service Office have limited hours of operation. If a woman experiences an emergency, nurse call-centers and campus police often have response delays. Many SUNY school areas lack urgent care clinics.

- The Mayo Clinic recommends ultrasound dating prior to prescribing abortion medication.  Many SUNY Health Services are not equipped to perform these ultrasounds; they must rely on less-exact patient estimations. Medical abortion is not recommended after seven weeks.

- According to the Mayo Clinic, medical abortion medications pose risks: incomplete abortion requiring a follow-up, heavy & prolonged bleeding, infection, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.

- Those who oppose abortion should not be required to finance A. 08743.
