If you dive inti the text of the bill, it becomes apparent that it's so much more than just a full term abortion law. It also effectively allows for post birth abortion,  and removes medical qualifications for those people who perform abortions.

It's now harder to be a tattoo artist in NY than perform an abortion.

Is this what we want?

Fake news.  The New York law just codifies what is in Roe.  The existing 1970 New York law was pre-Roe, so it needed to be updated to guard abortion rights in NY if Roe is repealed, instead of reverting to the 1970 law. The New York law also allows for late-term abortion in cases of fetal nonviability or threats to the woman's health.
