A.G. Schneiderman Leads New Supreme Court Brief in Support of Reproductive Healthcare Access

A.G. Schneiderman's office press release ------- New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman led 17 Attorneys General in filing a new amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of women’s reproductive health care access, in a case in which the operators of “crisis pregnancy centers” – which counsel women against abortion – are fighting a California state law that requires clinics to inform clients about public programs that provide free or low-cost contraception, abortion, and other family-planning services.The brief, filed in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates et al v. Becerra et al, argues that state disclosure requirements are vital to ensuring patients have the information they need to make timely, well-informed decisions about their health, safety, and legal rights, and that the amici States have a compelling interest in ensuring they can continue to rely on such modest, factual disclosures to provide key information to their residents.
