Reproductive Health Act

Reproductive Health Act

 Help us stop the radically pro-abortion and ironically, anti-choice "Reproductive Health Act" (RHA)

 S.2524 (Klein)/S.2844 (Stewart-Cousins)/A.6112 (Glick)

 

The 2012 legislative session began on January 4th, with Governor Cuomo’s State of the State Address.  The Governor outlined his agenda in a plan called Building a New New York.  In this comprehensive plan for our state, Cuomo said that he “…will fight for passage of the Reproductive Health Act.  This Act protects the fundamental right of reproductive freedom and a woman’s right to make private health care decisions."  As we have observed over this past year, Governor Cuomo is a formidable opponent who has managed to bring the legislature in line with his agenda.

The Reproductive Health Act seeks to have abortion declared a ‘fundamental right’ in New York State, prohibiting even basic and widely supported protections, such as parental consent and limits on government funding of abortion. The law would allow any "health care practitioner" to perform an abortion, jeopardize any agency that does not refer for abortion and seriously threaten conscience protections for hospitals and medical professionals.
