Abortion has been legal in NYS since 1970, but we were told by feminist organizations this fall that it was imperative to pass Proposition 1 to “enshrine abortion rights into the NYS Constitution” leading to it passing by a wide margin. However, there is a real fear by legal scholars that the language of this proposition might open a Pandora’s box by enshrining reverse racism, critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion principles in the Constitution. It also adds such terms as “gender identity” and “gender expression” to existing protected statuses (race, color, creed, and religion) which means allowing men in women’s spaces. Parental rights may also now be in jeopardy. It may also lead to non-citizen and migrant voting. How about “leveling the playing field” by preventing smarter kids from getting into better schools? And finally, the governor’s Housing Compact that was shot down last year could be enacted with the excuse that not mandating it would somehow discriminate against people who need housing. Is all of this really what people thought they were voting on?
