Re "Reproductive Rights in New York" (editorial, Feb. 20):
Why must The New York Times insist that the rights of women are contingent on increased access to abortion? We can help both mother and child.
Sadly, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's proposed Reproductive Health Act won't even help women. It leaves women with crisis pregnancies alone when they most need extra support, instead preventing common-sense protections like informed-consent laws, even short waiting periods, and parental notification rules for minors— protections that polls consistently suggest have widespread public support.
The legislation allows non-doctors to perform abortions and even allows sex-selective abortion and pregnancy reduction from triplets or twins to a single child. And who will the Reproductive Health Act hurt the most? Poor and minority communities, where abortion rates are already as high as 60 percent.
Governor Cuomo, please listen to New Yorkers. A new poll from the Chiaroscuro Foundation found pro-choice voters agreeing that their state does not need more abortion.
Governor Cuomo's bill is not what New Yorkers want — and it's not what New York needs.
