Statement in Support of Senator Stavisky’s Resolution to
Memorialize Reproductive Rights and Justice Week in New York State
Statement from Andrea Miller, President of NARAL Pro-Choice New York:
“Senator Stavisky’s Resolution to Memorialize Reproductive Rights and Justice Week in New York State should be the kind of common ground provision that legislators of all parties can get behind. Dating back to 1970, when New York legalized abortion through a bi-partisan effort, New Yorkers of all political stripes have a long, proud history of supporting women’s reproductive rights and justice. This is one of our core values that transcends politics and makes New York stand out. On the eve of the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, as the Republican primary contenders are practically tripping over each other to prove their anti-choice bona fides, and Congress and many state legislatures gear up for a new round of attacks on women’s access to reproductive health care, supporting this resolution here in New York should be a no-brainer.”
