Support the NY Reproductive Health Act
Via the NYCLU:
The Reproductive Health Act:
- Guarantees a woman’s right to control her reproductive health;
- Ensures that a woman will be able to have an abortion if her health is endangered;
- Treats the regulation of abortion as an issue of public health and medical practice, rather than as a potential crime; and
- Guarantees everyone the right to use or refuse contraception.
I was honored to be interviewed in this video about the Act, produced by the NYCLU:

It is important to me that I have the choice of what is done with my body and my reproductive organs, it should not be in the hands of the state. I hope that my representatives work to ensure this stays in my hands
