N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James launches abortion hotline to provide pro-choice advice

New York Attorney General Letitia James has partnered with pro-choice groups and more than a dozen law firms to launch a hotline for abortion advice.

Ms. James, a Democrat, said it is part of her new “Pro Bono Task Force” and that the hotline will provide legal advice and resources to women seeking abortion services in New York.

The Center for Reproductive Rights, a legal group behind many abortion-rights court battles, is playing a leading role in the hotline, as is the multi-state law firm of Paul, Weiss.

A total of 20 law firms are involved, along with five pro-choice advocacy groups.
