NY S08860

Prohibits New York courts from considering evidence that either parent has obtained or attempted to obtain reproductive health services, including abortion, when determining child custody or visitation arrangements

Applies to custody proceedings in divorce, separation, marriage annulment, and habeas corpus actions involving minor children

Defines "reproductive health services" broadly to include medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services relating to the human reproductive system, pregnancy, or pregnancy termination provided in hospitals, clinics, or physicians' offices

Amends two sections of the Domestic Relations Law (sections 70 and 240) to add identical protections in different types of family court proceedings

Maintains that courts must still determine custody based solely on the best interest of the child, but explicitly excludes reproductive health history from that consideration
