As some fear the nation could see another blow to abortion access, New York State will begin stockpiling abortion medication.

Governor Kathy Hochul made the announcement that the state’s Department of Health will purchase and store 150-thousand doses of the drug Misoprostol, enough for a five year supply.
The governor is also working with the legislature to require private insurers to cover the medication when prescribed off-label for abortion and to make sure providers don’t face increased charges or lose coverage due to prescribing Misoprostol off-label.
