New York’s Proposal 1, the so-called “Equal Rights” amendment to the state Constitution, which is on the ballot in November, will not advance equal rights. It will instead wreak further havoc on voting integrity; undermine parental rights; attack religious freedom; and enshrine unrestricted abortion, up to the moment of birth, into the New York State Constitution.
By prohibiting “discrimination” based on “national origin,” this proposal could be used to:
- Grant illegal immigrantsthe right to vote in our elections—something the left has already been trying to do in local jurisdictions, including New York City.
- Guarantee illegal immigrants access to all public services—welfare, housing, health care, education—with taxpayers footing the bill.
