Last week, an expansive pro-abortion bill<\/a> was passed in New York, which removed virtually all protections for preborn children, including those who survive abortion attempts, and essentially legalized abortion until the moment of birth. While there is an emphasis on the late-term abortion aspect of the new law, little attention has been paid to how this law will affect women who are being abused or are victims of violence.<\/p>\n

Beth Rahal, the former Pregnant on Campus coordinator for Students for Life, has been making a series of Facebook posts exploring different facets of the New York law. One post in particular focused on how the Reproductive Health Act will affect abuse survivors and survivors of violence.<\/p>\n
