The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)

The Founders wrote in the Declaration of Independence that some truths are self-evident, and one of these is the fact that all men are created equal. The Christian faith teaches, “…there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).  New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, in accordance with what the Scripture teaches, believe that men and women are created equal.

This bill, known as the Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act (RHAPP), was first introduced by former Governor Eliot Spitzer in 2008 and was carried in the State Senate by Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D – Yonkers). The bill was deemed too radical for even the liberal Democratic leadership in the State Assembly and never found a sponsor in that house --until now. In mid-June 2010, Asm. Deborah Glick (D-Manhattan) became the sponsor of the Assembly's companion bill known as A11484.
