As we head toward election day next week, with Early Voting well underway, New Yorkers continue to be bombarded with off-the-wall lies spread by anti-abortion activists about what Proposition 1, the Equal Rights Amendment, will do.
For many years I carried a bill in the State Senate called the Reproductive Health Act, or RHA. The purpose of the RHA was to codify Roe v Wade into New York State law.
Fortunately, in 2018 New Yorkers voted for a supermajority that supports New Yorkers' basic personal freedoms, and the RHA passed in 2019, protecting New Yorkers just in time before the Supreme Court tore down Roe.
But if that were true, they wouldn't be working so hard to defeat Prop 1. What they know is that only six years ago there was an anti-abortion majority in the State Senate.
