Assembly Member Richard Gottfried
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
12:00 Noon Social Half-Hour
12:30 PM Program
33 West 60th Street, 5th Floor Conference Room
SPEAKER:
Hon. Richard N. Gottfried,
Chair, NYS Assembly Committee on Health
While the federal government and other states are weakening a woman's right to choose, New York State is continuing its historic role of remaining in the forefront of reproductive justice for women. In 1970, three years before Roe v. Wade, New York State guaranteed women the right to legal abortions.
Assembly Member Richard Gottfried, Chair of the New York State Assembly Health Committee, will discuss New York State's current bill, Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act, recently introduced by Governor Spitzer that would update New York’s reproductive rights law. The Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act would take the abortion legislation out of New York’s criminal statutes and put it in the Public Health Law.
Pre-Registration is Required
You will be asked to show a photo ID in the lobby of the building. No Charge WCC Members & Students with ID • $10 Nonmembers
Location: 33 West 60th Street, 5th Floor Conference Room, New York, NY
