The Reproductive Health Act, A6112 (Glick), passed the Assembly Health Committee on May 31, 2011 by a vote of 18 to 8. It now awaits action in the Assembly Codes Committee. If the bill manages to pass both houses of the Legislature and is signed into law it would radically expand abortion rights in New York State, potentially even allowing for partial birth abortion. Â
The Assembly Health Committee vote on A6112 (Glick) is as follows: Y = Pro-Abortion Position N = Pro-Life Position
Y Jonathan Bing (D-Manhattan) Y Kevin Cahill (D-Kingston) N James Conte (R-Huntington Station) Y Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Brooklyn) Y Jeff Dinowitz (D-Bronx) N Christopher Friend (R-Big Flats) Y Sandy Galef (D-Ossining) Y Aileen Gunther (D-Forestburgh) N Andy Goodell (R-Jamestown) Y Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan) Y Andrew Hevesi (D-Forest Hills) Y Rhoda Jacobs (D-Brooklyn) Y Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove) Y Barbara Lifton (D-Ithaca) N David McDonough (R-Merrick) Y Joel Miller (R-Poughkeepsie) Y Joan Millman (D-Brooklyn) Y Amy Paulin (D-Scarsdale) Y Crystal Peoples-Stokes (D-Buffalo) N Robin Schimminger (D-Kenmore) N Edward Ra (R-Franklin Square) N Andrew Raia (R-East Northport) Y Naomi Rivera (D-Morris Park) Y Linda Rosenthal (D-Manhattan) Y Matt Titone (D-Staten Island) N Lou Tobacco (R-Tottenville) |
