We Need A Roe of Our Own in New York State

I'm not certain how dated this is but I just got it from NARAL N.Y. so I thought you might not have seen it.

On April 18, 2007, the United State Supreme Court, in a 5 – 4 decision, threw out years of precedent and upheld President Bush's Federal Abortion Ban. With this decision, the Court deserted its long standing commitment to protecting women’s health and has opened the floodgates for further state and federal abortion restrictions.

Six states have already introduced measures to further restrict abortion since the decision came down; however, New York is fervently working to safeguard a woman's right to access safe and legal abortion by introducing the Reproductive Health Act.

Check out this Fact Sheet on this bill that will take the principles of Roe v. Wade and put them squarely into New York Law. We must secure the freedoms we have now before any further federal or state legislation is passed. We need a Roe of our own.
