A proposed amendment to New York’s constitution that supporters say is intended to protect abortion rights might appear on the ballot this fall without any mention of the word “abortion.' That’s partly because of disagreements about what the so-called Equal Rights Amendment would actually do, if passed.
ALBANY, N.Y. — A proposed amendment to New York ’s Constitution that’s intended to protect abortion rights might appear on the ballot this fall without any mention of the word “abortion.”
Republicans have sought to frame the amendment as an underhanded move from Democrats to provide constitutional protections for transgender athletes, among a laundry list of other concerns. On its face, barring discrimination against someone who has had an abortion would seem to have implications for things like employment and housing law.
State Sen. Liz Krueger, a leading sponsor of the proposed amendment, had joined other Democrats in asking the Board of Elections to include the words “abortion” and “LGBT” in the explanation on the ballot, which people will see in the voting booth on election day.
