New York’s top court allows ‘equal rights’ amendment to appear on November ballot

New York’s top court allowed a proposed amendment on the November ballot to prevent discrimination based on gender identity and pregnancy outcomes. The Court of Appeals upheld the lower court’s ruling on Thursday, July 11. The opinion stated no significant constitutional concerns were at stake.

Democrats anticipate the ‘equal rights’ amendment will boost their voter turnout by emphasizing it as safeguarding abortion rights. Republicans hope it will also improve voter turnout, in an effort to stop additional protections offered to transgender individuals.
