New York's Prop 1 Equal Rights Amendment Passes Amid Controversy

New York's controversial ballot measure, Proposition 1, aimed at enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution, is projected to pass with significant support, despite opposition labeling it a 'Trojan Horse.' The measure, part of a broader Democratic effort to secure reproductive rights, extends anti-discrimination protections to include gender identity and reproductive healthcare. Critics argue it could lead to unintended consequences, such as noncitizens voting and minors undergoing gender surgeries without parental consent. Proponents celebrate it as a victory for reproductive freedom.
