TELL NY REPRESENTATIVES TO VOTE NO ON THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT A.6112
The Reproductive Health act, a dangerous and unnecessary bill that would make abortion a fundamental right in NY State and remove the physician mandate for abortion has been referred to the NYS Assembly Codes Committe.
FCLNY is asking all pro-life and moderate pro-choice New Yorkers to take a few minutes to contact their Assembly representatives and tell them to Vote no to the RHA.
