When the legal phrasing states that an abortion after 24 weeks in New York can only be done in the situation where the "life of the mother" is involved, then there has to be an actual real medical indication. pro abortion avocates have long lobbied for the wording to be changed to include "the health of the woman" because then the process becomes abortion on demand since all that is required is required for the preactitioner to say is that the patient is stressed or depressed or even just that they aren't happy unless they have a late term abortion since this is construed as being in the best interest of the woman's emotional/mental health.
The new law has made abortions up to term accessible for any who want them now regardless of there being an actual medically threatening reason.
The new law uses extremely nonspecific wording such that the care giver can use "“all factors — physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age — relevant to the wellbeing of the patient.”
It makes abortion on demand up to the point of birth.
