New York Attorney General Files Complaint Against Red Rose Rescue for Anti-Abortion Activism

New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday filed a complaint against the anti-abortion group Red Rose Rescue for “invading reproductive health clinics, threatening staff and doctors, and terrorizing patients.”

According to a statement from the New York Attorney General’s Office, the activists of this group against the right to the interruption of pregnancy carried out these actions to try to block their activities.

“Members of Red Rose Rescue have interfered with clinics in Nassau and Westchester counties by lying to doctors to gain access to the facilities under false pretenses, to physically occupy waiting rooms and barricade entrances,” the note details.

As a consequence of their boycott actions, the appointments of many patients were delayed or could not be held on the scheduled date.

“Red Rose Rescue’s mission is to terrorize reproductive health care providers and the patients they serve. Only we have the right to make decisions about our own bodies, not anti-choice legislators or bigoted bigots” James was quoted as saying in the statement.

The prosecutor insisted in the statement that she will continue to “protect and defend everyone’s legal right to access health care safely.”

Some twenty states in the United States, the majority in the South, prohibit the abortion Almost completely; while others are locked in legal battles that have created chaos and confusion.

Back in September 2021, when Texas adopted strongly anti-abortion legislation, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul announced a plan to make this state a “safe haven” for women who require a abortion in United States.

And last January, as anti-abortion initiatives advanced in more states, Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city would begin offering free abortion pills, initially at a sexual health clinic in the Bronx and later at three other similar management centers. municipal. EFE
