Over the last two years, state constitutional amendments have become a critical tool for restoring, shielding, and expanding abortion access. Passed via ballot measure, these amendments have allowed voters from Kansas to Ohio to California to Vermont to guarantee abortion rights... This election, 10 states will vote on such amendments, including right here at home in New York.
Every time I land in a new state, I have a different set of rights. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned…41% of women of reproductive age in America live in one of these states.
How can we possibly call ourselves a free nation when so many are not free? Thanks to brave individuals sharing stories about the worst experiences of their lives... we now know the many ways in which the lives of women, trans and nonbinary people have been upended, endangered, and even lost because of abortion bans.
New York has a well-earned reputation as a safe haven for abortion care, but it wasn't until 2019 that the New York legislature passed the Reproductive Health Act. Its passage was made possible only by the 2018 election, which put abortion rights champions in control of the state legislature for the first time in nearly a decade.
