Each week, Rewire News Group editors scour headlines nationwide—from lawsuits over abortion access to LGBTQ+ rights—to bring you the most urgent news in reproductive justice. Here’s this week’s latest.

NYU Langone to halt care for trans kids

NYU Langone Health, a premier New York City hospital system, announced this week that it is halting gender-affirming care for trans youth. “These kids need care,” one parent of a teen who had been receiving care through the program, told Gothamist. She called the move “dangerous.” The announcement comes after a year of uncertainty about the program’s future. Patients began reporting cancelled visits in January 2025, following a Trump administration executive order banning the care for people under 19.

If passed, the bill would make it illegal for doctors to be extradited to other states for rendering health care. Abortion is legal up to 24 weeks gestation in the state. “We will continue fighting off attacks from those who want to strip away our bodily autonomy,” Sen. Debra Altschiller, the bill’s sponsor, said.
