Today, I voted against legislation that would have expanded abortion rights in New York State. Human life is to be preserved and protected, inside the womb and out. I spoke at length on this issue, and will continue to do so for as long as I’m privileged enough to serve as your assemblyman. Each human being deserves the opportunity to become a part of our world, just the way you and I have. I am proud to have stood for the sanctity and dignity of human life.
