Congratulations to the following members of the Lakeshore Catholic Faith Community who were honored by Bishop Fisher with the St. Joseph the Worker Award: Larry Ott, Tony Parisi, Chuck & Faith Holmes, Rosemary Scaglione, and Frank Zeffiro.
Educating oneself will be especially important in the case of Proposal 1, sometimes referred to as the “Equal Rights Amendment.” The title suggests a noble cause, as all children of God should be treated equally under the law. However, this proposed amendment to the state Constitution is broadly written and could have dangerous consequences if enacted, which is why we oppose it and urge you to vote no. The measure would, effectively, permanently legalize abortion without restriction and up until the moment of birth in New York. Aside from being redundant in a state that already has stripped away all abortion limitations, the amendment would render impossible any change to the law if the hearts and minds of New Yorkers were ever to shift toward protecting the child in the womb.
