Governor Andrew Cuomo yesterday declared he and the Legislature would pass the Reproductive Health Act in the first 30 days of the new legislative session. Cuomo spoke yesterday at Barnard College in Manhattan and said passing the legislation would codify Roe v Wade rights into state law…
Cuomo also wants to pass a bill this year that gets the ball rolling on a Constitutional amendment that would protect women’s rights to control their own reproductive health. A constitutional amendment would require passage by two elected Legislatures and approval by a public vote.
