"This November New York voters will see on the back of their ballots a question that supporters argue will safeguard abortion access across the state. Proponents refer to Proposition 1, the first of six ballot questions this election cycle, as the New York Equal Rights Amendment. They tout the measure as a much-needed constitutional safeguard to enshrine abortion access and prohibit new classes of discrimination. At the same time, opponents have seized on vague language in the measure, warning the law would undermine 'parents’ rights' and allow transgender kids to participate in girls' sports teams. The nonpartisan New York City Bar Association says those claims are false." https://bit.ly/3Yu3r5v
