New York voters approve constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights

npr.org — November 6, 2024, 04:01 AM UTC

New York voters have approved a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights and prevent discrimination. The measure, titled “The Amendment to Protect Against Unequal Treatment,” was introduced by the Democratic-controlled Legislature.

This amendment responds to the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. It does not mention "abortion" but prohibits discrimination based on sex, including pregnancy and reproductive healthcare.

The amendment expands existing protections against discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and religion. It aims to ensure access to reproductive healthcare in New York.
