In light of recent challenges to abortion rights in the United States, Cornell Health reaffirms our commitment to supporting the sexual health and reproductive choices of every student who comes to us for care. Our advocacy for autonomy and choice – including choices related to whether or when to be pregnant – are central to the care we provide every day.
Abortion remains legal, safe, and accessible in New York State. See NY Attorney General Letitia James' statement confirming that "New York will always be a safe haven for anyone seeking an abortion."
