New York Proposition 1 aims to expand equal rights protections on ballot

Proposition 1 in New York aims to amend the state's Equal Rights Amendment. It seeks to add protections for pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive health care, effectively preserving abortion rights in the state. Voters will find Proposition 1 on the reverse side of their ballots, where they can choose to vote yes or no. The measure addresses unequal treatment based on various factors, including ethnicity, age, and gender identity. Opponents argue that it could lead to special rights for certain groups, while supporters claim it simply adds necessary protections. The outcome will be decided in the upcoming election.
