GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNS FCLNY conducts grassroots outreach, including public forum canvassing, college and community petition and sign drives, paid billboard and radio ads / commentary. GET INVOLVED Make The Switch Now! More than half of all abortions that occur in the U.S. are performed chemically, involving two “abortion pills,” Mifepristone and Misopristol. It is currently legal in NY for retail pharmacies to mail abortion pills with a prescription via tele-health. CVS and Walgreens have already obtained their certification to dispense abortion pills. Walgreens started providing medication abortions in NY. Giant retail pharmacies are more likely to undergo the expensive certification process than independent privately owned family pharmacies. Chemical abortion kills human beings and increases health risks for women. Retail pharmaceutical sale of abortion pills is deadly for unborn children and harmful for women. As long as privately owned pharmacies continue to resist selling abortion pills we will continue to PROMOTE AND SUPPORT them. Sign Petition Here Chemical abortions (abortion pills) kill human beings and increase health risks for women. Retail pharmaceutical sale of abortion pills is deadly for unborn children and potentially harmful for women. Human beings begin their lives at conception, according to established scientific consensus. According to The Guttmacher Institute , “Medication abortions accounted for 63% of all US abortions in 2023, an increase from 53% in 2020.” It is estimated that approximately 1 million abortions occurred in 2023. Science demonstrates : Abortion pills are four times riskier than surgical abortions, and elevate the likelihood of health complications for women and girls. Medication abortions are over fifty percent (50%) more likely than surgical abortions to result in a visit to an emergency department within thirty (30) days post-abortion; impacting one in twenty (20) females. The risks of chemical abortion include hemorrhaging, fever, incomplete abortion, and other complications such as, infection, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, on-going pregnancy, and uterine rupture. More than ten percent (10%) of women who undergo chemical abortions need follow up treatment for incomplete or failed abortions. The dangers of medication abortion increase as the embryo grows, and are potentially lethal for women and girls experiencing ectopic pregnancies. On average, almost forty percent (40%) of women ingesting abortion pills during their second trimester of pregnancy require surgery. NY fail s to require ultrasounds occur pre-chemical abortions, the surest, most reliable and accurate method for determining the gestational age of an unborn child or whether a pregnancy is ectopic . Further, simply dispensing chemical abortions, without adequate safeguards, also impedes the ability to detect and address any coercion that may have been exerted on a woman to abort her child. Studies show a sizable percentage of women who undergo abortion are coerced to do so by violent intimate partners and/or sex traffickers .

FCLNY's PUBLIC FORUM CANVASSING DRIVE Connecting With People One on One QUESTIONNAIRE CAMPAIGN ON NY ABORTION POLICY & WOMEN'S NEEDS. Questionnaire Click Here FCLNY's Public Awareness Campaign on NY Abortion Policy & Women's Needs FCLNY is looking to better understand the public's knowledge of NY abortion policy and women's needs, especially poor women facing unplanned pregnancies. We want to more effectively educate the public on NY abortion policy, including its impacts on women and children. Inaccuracies, confusion and gaps in knowledge concerning NY's abortion policy appear rampant within NY's body politic. New Yorkers deserve an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the policies that impact them and their families. FCLNY also wants to gain more insight regarding the public's understanding of the most pressing, unmet needs of women and children in NY. We want to better educate on these needs, through partnerships and tailored projects. Join us on a canvass!

Click on the title above to download and print the FULL REPORT For Signs message us at info@fclny.org Systemic racism is embedded into the very fabric of American society; no institution is left unscathed. In fact, our treatment of black lives exemplifies the adage, “the more things change, the more they remain the same.” Our country was built on the labor of African slaves, and the abolition of slavery merely changed the terminology of the systems oppressing of black lives. Systemic racism remains entrenched in our criminal justice system, communities, healthcare system, and schools, producing severe racial disparities across each sector. Some people contend that poverty, not racism, is the driving force of inequality across racial groups. While racism and poverty certainly overlap and are interconnected, poverty alone does not account for the racial discrimination and disproportionately negative outcomes that people of color experience in America. Even when socioeconomic status and other confounding variables are controlled for, racial disparities remain. FCLNY's report, All Black Lives Matter, provides an historical account of systemic racism, contextualizing contemporary racial disparities by diving into America’s dark past and illuminating the systems of oppression that are preventing black Americans from realizing the rights and quality of life they are afforded as human members of our society. By learning our history and developing deeper understandings of systemic racism, we will be better equipped to identify and address racism in our daily lives, serving as anti-racist allies in this nationwide quest for racial justice.

Anthony was Pro-Life Published in the Wall Street Journal Read the article here Suffrage Movement ~ Historical Background Restellism/Abortion Racism "Suffragists believed that greater independence of women would eliminate or at least greatly reduce poverty, rape, and prostitution. They believed these evils produced women’s desire to abort their children. Women’s enfranchisement would provide education and employment opportunities, change divorce laws related to drunken husbands, and take away the stigma of single motherhood. Having access to the vote would ‘scourge the evil of abortion’. " Susan B. Anthony was way ahead of the curve in propelling the nation's advancements in human rights for all human beings. ​ Her newspaper, The Revolution, loudly and consistently supported suffrage for black women and condemned racism.

FCLNY's Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sex Trafficking (DVAST) Resource Index-NY Hello! Welcome to Feminists Choosing Life of New York's Survivors of DVAST Index. This index contains a list of domestic violence and human trafficking resources across New York State with links and contact information. Each of the organizations listed provide one or more of the following services: counseling, legal aid, shelter, case management, support groups, referrals and other support for domestic violence or human trafficking survivors. For each region, the domestic violence resources are divided into those that offer shelter/housing and those that do not. The organizations are categorized according to six NY regions. For locations near you, please reference this regional map to find your COUNTY. Several vital resources extend across all six NY regions and are denoted at the top of this index. FCLNY utilizes this map for geographical categorization purposes only. As a pro-life feminist organization, FCLNY seeks to raise awareness of available services that help victims and survivors of violence break through cycles of abuse, and heal. Domestic violence and human trafficking, in particular sex trafficking, are root causes of abortion. Data reveals that a size-able portion of victims of domestic violence and/or sex trafficking experience coerced abortions.

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY FCLNY organizes and participates in both direct and grassroots lobbying on targeted policy issues as well as coordinated media outreach. FCLNY is non-partisan, but works with diverse ideological and/or religious organizations that align with our goals. New York State Medical Aid in Dying Act Pending in NYS The Medical Aid in Dying Act (MAID) (S2445C/ A995C ) allows for ‘mentally competent’ ‘terminally ill’ people, beginning at age 18, to request and consume deadly medication that will end their lives. Versions of MAID were first introduced in the New York legislature in 2015, and consistently reintroduced during every subsequent legislative term, including in January of 2023. MAID is currently pending in the NYS Senate and Assembly Health Committees. Supermajorities in both houses lean in favor of MAID, and an imminent decision threatens the horizon and the dignity of human life at its natural end. MAID dehumanizes and devalues the aged, diseased, and disabled. MAID normalizes suicide and decriminalizes assisted suicide. According to the National Council on Disability “The evidence strongly suggests that … safeguards are circumvented in ways that are harmful to patients.” ​ NY’s pending MAID Act goes far out of its way to forbid referencing death by an intentional dose of lethal medication as a suicide, and to protect accomplices of such suicides from criminal prosecution. MAID clearly supports suicide and excuses assisted suicide for a select group of people. Webster’s dictionary defines suicide as “the act or instance of taking one’s own life voluntarily and intentionally.” ​ MAID destigmatizes the gravity of suicide and undermines the value of human life. MAID is legal in ONLY eleven U.S. jurisdictions including Oregon , New Mexico , Colorado and Montana where suicide is a leading cause of death, including among youth . “When assisted suicide is legalized it immediately becomes the cheapest treatment.” If health “insurers deny, or even simply delay approval of expensive life-sustaining treatment, patients can be steered toward hastening their deaths.” "There is robust evidence , taken from different jurisdictions and using a variety of statistical methods, that the total number of self initiated deaths rises significantly where [Assisted Suicide] is legally available, and strong evidence that this has a greater impact on older women.” A growing body of research demonstrates that a significant portion of terminally ill patients consider themselves a burden to family and others. The evidence also identifies "self-perceived burden" as a relevant factor in making end of life and death-hastening decisions. Numerous professional associations and organizations oppose ASSISTED SUICIDE, including, American Medical Association , World Medical Association , National Council on Disability, American Association of People with Disabilities and the Medical Society of the State of New York URGENT CALL TO ACTION Please call and email all THE LEGISLATORS IN THE HEALTH COMMITTEES OF THE NYS SENATE AND ASSEMBLY. Let them know you are a New Yorker and you oppose the passage of the Medical Aid In Dying Act (MAID). (Only participate if you are a NYS registered voter) If you live in a district of a health committee member please be sure to say so.

Progressive societies promote life-affirming solutions, not the violent destruction of human life. ​ I am a voting New Yorker and I oppose Medical Aid In Dying. ​ I urge you to vote against MAID (S.2445C/A.995C). Sincerely, NYS Equal Rights Amendment Hello FCLNY Friends, We are grateful for each of you and all that you invest into moving forward a culture of life in NY. As you know, FCLNY served as an Organizational Endorser of the Coalition to Protect Kids-NY, a ballot issue committee dedicated to educating on and defeating Prop One, or the so-called Equal Rights Amendment to NY's Constitution. This amendment dehumanizes unborn children, by providing pregnant mothers with a constitutional right to abort their children, regardless of their gestational age. It empowers courts to deprive parents of rights and senior citizens of benefits, among other things. The anti-life ERA degrades women and girls, and constititutionalizes discrimination in the name of equality. While Prop One ultimately passed statewide, on November 5th, it was defeated by a majority vote in the majority of counties across New York State. The overall percentage of votes supporting Prop One in NY was also significantly less than for similar amendments in the deep blue state of Maryland and in the battleground state of Nevada. We are so extraordinarily thankful for the great work of everyone who worked diligently to raise awareness of this amendment. Here is a brief list of the NY counties where a majority of voters cast their vote against passage of this destructive constitutional amendment. Allegany Cattaraugus Cayuga Chautauqua Chenango Delaware Fulton Genesee Greene Hamilton Herkimer Jefferson Lewis Livingston Madison Montgomery Niagara Oneida Ontario Orleans Oswego Putnam Rockland Schoharie Schuyler Seneca St. Lawrence Steuben Sullivan Tioga Warren Washington Wayne Wyoming Yates Here is a list of the counties that came within 3% points or less of a majority of NO VOTES to the ERA. Chemung Franklin Orange Otsego Staten Island ​ ​ FCLNY will continue to raise awareness of the genuine threats posed by the ERA, in addition to NY's already inhumane abortion policies and other anti-life bills, laws and practices impacting New Yorkers. Update on the Status of Medication Abortion in the U.S. and NYS In FDA vs. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (2024), "The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled to preserve access to the abortion pill mifepristone, a pill used in the most common way to end a pregnancy." "Thousands of women in states with abortion bans and restrictions are receiving abortion pills in the mail from states that have laws protecting prescribers," including New York. It is currently legal for medical providers and certified retail pharmacies to mail abortion pills to women and girls with a prescription via tele-health in NY. Under the current rules surrounding chemical abortion, pregnant women and girls can "take the medication to induce an abortion through 10 weeks of pregnancy," and without a pre-abortion ultrasound. ​ Read High Court's Opinion Here! ​ The RHA Degrades Women and Dehumanizes Children. PLAINTIFF- VICTIMS CHALLENGE NEW YORK'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT IN HISTORIC LAWSUIT Relevant portions of the NY RHA legal challenge are currently on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The rights of viable unborn children, presented by the NY RHA lawsuit, are hopefully one step closer to adjudication by the U.S. Supreme Court. We hope the lawsuit will land squarely in the hands of the same U.S. Supreme Court Justices that overturned Roe vs. Wade (1973) in Dobbs vs. Jackson (2022). ​ Stay Tuned! New York enacted the Reproductive Health Act (RHA) in January, 2019. This law allows for the killing of viable unborn children, including healthy children in utero, for any reason within 24 weeks of pregnancy. Modern medical science is clear that unborn children can be viable (capable of survival outside the womb) as early as 21 weeks gestation. ​ The RHA permits killing viable unborn children, including healthy children in utero, during the later-second and third trimester of pregnancy for reasons unrelated to a mother's physical health. In NY, approximately 1,600 unborn children are aborted each year at 20+ weeks gestation. Studies show most later-term abortions are 'elective,' performed on healthy pregnant women and healthy unborn children. ​ The RHA did away with NY's longstanding fetal homicide law. Because of the RHA it is no longer a separate crime in NY for abusers to kill viable unborn children, including wanted unborn children, in attacks on their mothers. ​ The RHA allows for an undefined group of health care practitioners to perform abortions, including surgical, second and third trimester abortions. Studies show that even mid-level health care providers that perform abortions have higher rates of “incomplete abortion,” uterine “perforation” and “hemorrhage” than physicians performing abortions. ​ The RHA eradicated NY Public Health Law (PHL) 4164, without enacting any form of replacement. In NY, later-second and third trimester abortions can occur in facilities other than hospitals, ambulatory centers or physicians' offices. According to studies, including, Risk Factors for Legal Induced Abortion-Related Mortality in the United States, the "risk of death" for "women obtaining legally induced abortions" "increase[s] exponentially by 38% for each additional week of gestation.” ​ Further, eliminating PHL 4164 allows for infants who survive abortion to die without adequate "medical care" or without a second physician present to care for that infant. According to the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention children are sometimes born alive during later-term induced abortions. ​ International World Beyond War Declaration of Peace FCLNY Organizational Signer We seek positive and sustainable peace, founded on justice ​ “We understand that wars and militarism make us less safe rather than protect us, that they kill, injure and traumatize adults, children and infants, severely damage the natural environment, erode civil liberties, and drain our economies, siphoning resources from life-affirming activities.

POSITION PAPERS VIOLENT MILITARY ACTION , CAPITAL PUNISHMENT , ABORTION, ASSISTED DYING Violent Military Action There are currently more than 100 active armed conflicts occurring worldwide, according to the Geneva Academy , including in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Egypt, Nigeria, Somalia, India, Philippines, Mexico, Columbia, Pakistan, China, Afghanistan and the Central African Republic. There are currently more than 100 active armed conflicts occurring worldwide, according to the Geneva Academy , including in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Egypt, Nigeria, Somalia, India, Philippines, Mexico, Columbia, Pakistan, China, Afghanistan and the Central African Republic. Armed conflict most severely impacts women and children. S t atistics illustrate 468 million children live in armed conflict zones worldwide. Women and girls are more likely to become targets of sexual violence during armed conflict and constitute the majority of displaced people and refugees worldwide. Violent military action greatly disrupts essential social services for families. More than 7.6 million children under the age of 5 (living in war zones with U.S. involvement) are suffering from “acute malnutrition.” FCLNY CONDEMNS ALL FORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST HUMAN BEINGS, INCLUDING LETHAL WEAPONRY , RAPE, TORTURE, STARVATION, ABUSE, NEGLECT AND BRUTALITY.
