First on Fox: A pro-life medical group urges New York housekeeper Kathy Hochul, to reverse the course on a recently adopted state law that protects the identity of health care providers who prescribe and send the abortion pill.
In a letter to Hochul on Wednesday, the American Association of Pro-Life Obgyns (AAPLOG) said that the law “endangers” recklessly “patients who could not follow their supplier in the event of complications.
“The concealment of the identity of doctors endangers the patients we are supposed to serve,” wrote the group. “He aggravates the risks of prescription of méfepristone tele -for without consultations in person, and the obstacles he creates to identify the prescribing doctors could make the difference between life and death for patients.”

Contact with the prescribing doctor is an essential element of any follow -up care, the Obgyn wrote: “What is so common and necessary with mifepristone that it was necessary in the context of the original approval of the FDA . ”
“Many irresponsible ways underestimate the risks of the abortions induced by drugs, but the dangers for women who take it are too real,” wrote the group.
The group called to reconsider the law, declaring: “This new law makes doctors less accessible to patients they serve” and “erect obstacles for patients with follow -up questions”. They also warned that this could introduce “potentially deadly road roadblocks” to consultations in the event of complications.
Miffepristone, the most commonly used drugs for medical abortions up to 10 weeks of gestation, is the first combination of oral abortion. A second medication, misoprostol, is generally taken 24 to 48 hours later to expel the fetus. A dozen states adopted laws last year to restrict access to abortion pills.

“Women who take the medication may require a transfusion, develop sepsis or need surgery to finish their abortion,” the Obgyn wrote.
“The rate of complication of abortion induced by the drug is four times higher than for surgical abortions. In fact, 2.9 to 4.6 percent of patients taking the drug will have to be seen in the emergency room, as ‘is produced in the case of the patient of Louisiana of the days reported before New York has promoted its legislation.
Rebecca Weaver, Director General of AAPLOG Action, told Fox News Digital that the law “essentially allows provisional states to prevail over pro-life states … and to allow the sending of drug drugs” .
“This is a kind of overcoming and subcute what Dobbs prescribed to go before after the reversal of Roe,” said Weaver.

Hochul signed the law in early February following the indictment of the doctor of New York Margaret Carpenter, his company and a partner by a large jury in the parish of West Baton Rouge, in Louisiana. They were accused of using telemedicine to prescribe abortion pills to a minor who suffered complications.
The New York law, counting immediately, allows the names of suppliers to be omitted from the packaging and bottles of abortion pills and instead of the name of their health practice.
The authorities of Louisiana discovered the identity of the doctor after being found on the label of the abortion pill.
“After today, it will not happen anymore,” said Hochul when the bill is signed.
Fox News Digital contacted Hochul’s office to comment.
