Statement: Minutes ago, the so-called Reproductive Health Act passed the State Senate 38-24, with two Democrats (Addabbo, Felder) and all Republicans present voting against. The Assembly has also passed the bill and it has been delivered to the Governor. We commend those who voted to defend the unborn and their mothers, and speak out in debate. RHA is an extreme bill sold to the public saying it merely 'updates' New York's law, which is far from true. RHA will expand abortion past 24 weeks through birth, make abortion a “fundamental right,” and prohibit all limits, which Roe vs. Wade did *not* do. While we look forward to the time when Roe vs. Wade is overturned, under Roe limits on abortion are constitutional and are favored by the majority of the public, including in New York. NYSRTL will continue to work to expose the misinformation put forth about RHA, protect children and their mothers, protect the rights of pro-life persons to engage in life-saving activities and express their views, and to build a culture of Life in New York.
