ABOUT
PROPOSAL 1

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, state governments and courts have rolled back reproductive rights, including abortion, birth control, and IVF. Prop 1 will make sure that can never happen in New York. This amendment embeds explicit protections within our state constitution to protect our reproductive freedoms and prevent government discrimination.

Right now, New York’s State Constitution only includes protections for race and religion, leaving many New Yorkers unprotected. This amendment — Prop 1 — will close those loopholes by prohibiting government discrimination regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, pregnancy status, disability status, or whether someone is LGBT. It will ensure no one can be discriminated against for who they are.

Ultimately, Prop 1 will ensure New Yorkers keep and protect what they want most: fundamental reproductive rights, without political interference.

ABOUT US

New Yorkers for Equal Rights is a coalition of more than 500 civil and reproductive rights organizations advocating for passage of Proposal 1 – the New York Equal Rights Amendment.
