ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A proposed amendment to New York’s Constitution that's intended to protect abortion rights might appear on the ballot this fall
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.”
Democratic state lawmakers put the question on the ballot in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade and say the proposal is a way to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. 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. “The board has a mandate to ensure everyday voters can understand what they are voting on,” she said after the board’s vote, adding that the abortion component “should be clearly reflected and spelled out in the ballot language.”
