New York Proposal 1 is an Equal Rights Amendment, protection for abortion, miscarriages and stillbirths, pregnancies to term, and birth.

An abortion rights demonstrator during the annual Easter Bonnet Parade outside Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and Fifth Avenue in New York City on March 31, 2024.

This includes ensuring that women and all people with the capacity for pregnancy have equal rights to make decisions about their bodies, to follow their religious beliefs, to travel, and to be free from unlawful government detention.

Pro-abortion activists counter an annual anti-abortion demonstration in New York City, on March 23, 2024.

Doctors at Northwell Health’s Staten Island University Hospital neglected that purported to authorize them to perform major surgery without the pregnant woman’s consent. And that is precisely what they did.
