The NYCLU, the New York State affiliate of the ACLU, defends the rights and liberties guaranteed by the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights
Is the anti-choice lobby louder than you?

Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Westchester) will be sponsoring the Reproductive Health Act when it is introduced this legislative session.  Because of her support for women’s health, Senator Stewart-Cousins has been targeted by the Catholic Conference and other anti-choice groups.  Despite the opposition’s aggressive campaign of distortions and scare tactics, the majority of New Yorkers support the bill and a woman’s right to make fundamental health decisions. 

Join us in thanking the senator for her commitment to our values, our health and the Reproductive Health Act.
