Judgement Day – November 5th, 2024 by Richard Rossi
This goes way beyond political affiliation. For New York citizens, Judgement Day is November 5th. Ballot proposition 1 (ERA) is on the November ballot.
This election is critical to our Rights & Freedoms and maintaining our Second Amendment protected rights. This might seem like a small issue considering that we have a President to elect this year. But it‘s not!
This proposition will change our NYS Constitution. If passed, the impact of this Constitutional Amendment on NYS Citizens will be felt for decades. As gun owners, we must also be responsible Law-abiding citizens and fight to keep all our Rights under our Bill of Rights.
Hopefully by now you have heard of the Ballot Proposition 1 to amend our New York State Constitution ("Equal Rights Amendment") which will be on the reverse side of your ballot. The ballot wording seems harmless. Who is not in favor of equal rights for all? However, it is a wolf in sheep's clothing!
First - let's clear the air on all the Abortion misinformation that is circulating. There is no truth to it, at all! Abortion is already legal in New York, with some of the most far-reaching protections in the country and there is no significant movement to change that. Given these protections, adding abortion rights to the state constitution is redundant. The laws already ensure comprehensive access and protection for abortion services.
A more appropriate and fitting name for this proposition would be “THE PARENT'S REPLACEMENT ACT”. If this ballot amendment is passed, will it destroy your Parental Rights? Let’s look closer.
The 5 KEY-TAKE-AWAY points
The New York State government could have more authority than parents in making medical and other important decisions for children.
Children under the age of 18 could have the right to irreversible surgical and nonsurgical transgender procedures without parental notice or approval.
Schools could be banned from disclosing to parents that their children are becoming transgender.
Biological males could be allowed to compete against biological females in school sports without restrictions.
Protections for churches and other religious organizations and non-profits could be eroded regarding beliefs that run contrary to newly-created ‘Rights’ in Prop One.
Take a moment and ask yourself these questions about the proposition?
What does it mean to be able to “discriminate” based on things like age and gender identity and what some possible legal ramifications might be?
Should the New York State government have more authority than parents in making medical and other important decisions for children?
Should minors have the right to irreversible surgical and non-surgical transgender procedures without parental notice or consent?
Should biological males be allowed to compete in female school sports without restrictions?
Should laws that determine the legal age to purchase and/or consume alcohol or cannabis be weakened?
Should statutory rape laws that protect against sex with minors be weakened?
Can you be accused of discrimination by voicing your "Free Speech" Rights and speaking against these gender related issues!
The future of our children hangs in the balance.
It is you - the voters – who will decide on whether Proposition 1 will be passed on election day.
