In New York, a ballot referendum meant to protect abortion may not use the word ‘abortion’

Associated Press  

ALBANY, N.Y. — A proposed amendment to New York’s Constitution that’s intended to protect abortion rights might appear on the ballot this fall without any mention of the word “abortion.” That’s partly because of sharp disagreements about what the so-called Equal Rights Amendment would actually do, if passed. The Democrats wrote a letter to the board that said the amendment “will protect abortion rights in the state constitution,” adding that “this critical point may be lost, however, if the word ‘abortion’ is not included in the ballot language.” In a short meeting on Monday, the board instead voted to use an explanation that pulled language directly from the proposed amendment — excluding the terms “abortion” and “LGBT” — under the idea that voters should see the actual language of the amendment to understand its purpose. “The board has a mandate to ensure everyday voters can understand what they are voting on,” she said after the board’s vote, adding that the abortion component “should be clearly reflected and spelled out in the ballot language.” Currently, New York allows abortion until fetal viability, which is usually between 24 and 26 weeks of pregnancy. David Laska, a spokesperson for the New York State Republican Party, said the ballot question “isn’t about abortion.” “After all, the word ‘abortion’ isn’t in the text of the amendment and efforts to add it to the ballot language are deceptive and wrong,” Laska said.
