New York Democrats fear abortion-rights amendment is faltering

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : But reproductive rights advocates have said the amendment is a necessary bulwark against any future efforts at the state level by a Republican governor to alter abortion laws and send a message to the rest of the country.
56% : Republicans and their allies -- who have struggled with the abortion issue for years -- have pointed to language in the proposal that goes beyond abortion to bolster rights based on age, sexual orientation and gender identity.
53% : The so-called equality amendment would ban discrimination against "gender identity" and "pregnancy outcomes," adding to current constitutional protections for race and religion.
42% : On LGBTQ+ protection it specifies: sexual orientation, gender, gender expression and gender identity.
