In a recent letter to the editor of the Staten Island Advance, Democratic Senator Diane Savino voiced opposition to parts of the RHAPP abortion bill, stating: "As a Catholic, I do not support legislation which would force private, faith-based hospitals to provide abortions when the procedure goes against its morals and religious beliefs."

We have completed work on an educational video about the problems of RHAPP. The video is about 4 minutes long, and does a great job of explaining the breadth of dangers introduced by the bill.

Dr. Alveda King, neice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and founder of King for America has endorsed the work of New Yorkers for Parental Rights, and come out in opposition of New York's proposed Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection act. Dr. King states:

"We require parental notification and permission for minors for everything from ear piercing to dental work, and in most legal proceedings; yet abortion, a dangerous and devastating procedure, too often remains in a category apart, protected from parents who will often have to pay for the damages and consequences their children suffer through abortion."
