Opinion
November 13, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Stanley Green, J.).
The action, which is based on plaintiff's lack of informed consent to an abortion performed by defendant, was properly dismissed on the ground that Public Health Law § 2805-d does not require physicians to refer patients to counseling on alternatives to abortion or to provide such counseling to patients seeking elective abortions (see, Perez v. Park Madison Professional Labs., 212 A.D.2d 271, 274; compare, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833, 881-885, 902).
We have considered plaintiff's other arguments and in the circumstances find them to be without merit.
