New York Families Reacts To Proposal One’s Passage

Rochester, NY – Jason J. McGuire, executive director of New York Families Foundation issued the following statement following the passage of Proposal One:
“The passage of Proposal One marks another step in the wrong direction here in New York. While Proposal One was cloaked in the language of fairness and equality, its true purpose has nothing to do with either of those things. Proposal One may well lead to extremist court decisions that erode religious freedom, remove New York law’s last remaining shreds of protection for unborn human life, and impose lies and confusion about sex and gender upon our families and institutions.”
“A loss is a loss but consider this: Proposal One passed with only 56.59% of the vote (unofficial), while Florida’s pro-abortion Amendment Four failed with 57.07% of the vote (unofficial) (Florida requires 60% approval for ballot measures). A deep-blue state received a lower approval percentage for its abortion amendment than a red one did. Given the immense political advantages enjoyed by Proposal One’s advocates, it is encouraging to note that Proposal One received less support from voters than many would have expected.”
“There are only two genders, and human life deserves respect at every stage of development. New York Families will continue to speak the truth in love on these matters, looking forward to a day when our state’s laws and policies will reflect that truth.”
