Prohibits the consideration of evidence that either parent has ever obtained or attempted to obtain reproductive health services relating to the termination of a pregnancy in certain legal proceedings

Summary

The measure amends New York’s domestic relations law so that, when deciding custody, visitation, divorce, annulment or support matters, judges cannot consider whether either parent has ever obtained or attempted reproductive health services, including abortions. It applies to any proceeding involving a child of the marriage. The change is intended to keep a parent’s private medical decisions from influencing custody outcomes.
