'CONTINUE TO FIGHT'

NYS Catholic Conference statement on the passage of Proposal 1


The following is a statement from Dennis Poust, executive director of the New York State Catholic Conference, on the passage of Proposal 1, the statewide ballot initiative that creates a fundamental right to abortion in the state Constitution, could infringe on the religious liberty of institutions and individuals, and threatens the right of parents to make medical and other decisions for their children:

“We are disappointed in the decision of the voters to approve this deceptively worded state constitutional amendment and we thank all who voted no. Despite this outcome, we will continue to fight the good fight for the protection of human rights, the dignity of the human person, the sacredness of all life, the rights of parents, and the preservation of religious liberty.

“The Catholic Bishops of New York State encourage legislators and state officials to focus on true support for women, children and families rather than continuing to push abortion as the only option. If you are pregnant or a new parent and you need help, the Catholic Church is here for you. You are not alone.”
