Take Action for Prop 1
All New Yorkers deserve the freedom to control our own lives, futures, and health care decisions, including our right to abortion. No New Yorker should be discriminated against or taken advantage of by those in power.
Prop 1 is a constitutional amendment that puts the power in the hands of New Yorkers, not politicians. New Yorkers can vote for Prop 1 in November 2024 and, if approved, it will be added to the NY State Constitution.
Help Planned Parenthood spread the word about Prop 1, and mobilize supporters and volunteers to be a part of the grassroots organizing movement that will protect abortion rights and our freedoms.

More about Prop 1
All New Yorkers deserve the freedom to control our own lives, futures, and healthcare decisions without government interference, including our right to abortion. Many of us took it for granted that our reproductive freedom would always be protected. When Roe v. Wade fell, we were shocked, and we realized our rights aren’t as safe as we thought. Since then, reproductive rights like abortion, contraception, and IVF have been under attack across the country.
That’s why we need to pass Prop 1: to make sure our reproductive rights, including abortion, are permanently protected here in New York, so we can never be caught off guard again. Prop 1 cements these rights so they cannot be rolled back by out-of-touch politicians in the future.
And Prop 1 doesn’t stop there: it also closes loopholes in the state constitution to make sure that no New Yorker can be discriminated against by the government, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, pregnancy status, disability status, or whether someone is LGBT. Because those in power shouldn’t be able to take advantage of any New Yorker, especially the most vulnerable among us.
Ballot Language
This proposal would protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity and pregnancy. It also protects against unequal treatment based on reproductive healthcare and autonomy.
A “YES” vote puts these protections in the New York State Constitution.
A “NO” vote leaves these protections out of the State Constitution.
