The Vote No on Prop 1 political action committee has gathered substantial funding from conservative donors, aiming to defeat a New York ballot measure securing abortion rights and broader civil protections.
Dick Uihlein, significant backer of the anti-abortion movement, donated $6.5 million to oppose the New York Equal Rights Amendment, previously funding similar efforts against abortion rights in Ohio.
With a Siena College poll showing 69% support for the ballot initiative, Democrats viewed it as an opportunity to energize voters who advocate for abortion rights and social protections.
The initiative known as the Equal Rights Amendment aims not only to protect abortion rights but also to enhance legal protections based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and more.
