Side note, there are no criminal penalties for violation of the law:
Statutory Definition of Illegal Abortion As of Jan. 22, 2019, abortion is no longer in the state's penal code. This means health care providers acting in good faith may not be held criminally liable.
Statutory Definition of Legal Abortion Within the first 24 weeks or after 24 weeks if necessary to preserve the mother's health or if the fetus isn't viable.
Note that the use of OR rather than "and" regarding the staturily valid reasons for killing the child after 24 weeks of age. He or she can be legally killed EITHER because they deem him or her to be not viable, OR because of the mother's health.
Of course the courts have already ruled that the mother's health can include pretty much anything and everything, including mental stress.
In practice, it equates to abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason at all. Abortion clinics don't even ask for a valid reason for killing the child. If the mother comes in she will always be able to get one no questions asked.
Here is the relevant section of the new law:

ARTICLE 25-A
11 REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT
12 SECTION 2599-AA. ABORTION.

18 TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF PREGNANCY, OR THERE IS AN
