GENERAL ELECTION
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Election on Tuesday, November 6th, is 100% about 21st century medical care & abortion rights.
WATCH THE VIDEOS BELOW!
Trumpers Murphy and Killian displayed their true colors AND profound ignorance at LoHud and League of Women Voters sponsored debates, respectively.
Rather than address the real healthcare needs of New York women, Murphy and Killian spewed radical-right propaganda. Their disturbing and irresponsible extremist lies mirror similar false statements made by Donald Trump in one of his debates with Hillary Clinton.
“Murphy makes false claims about Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act & the Reproductive Health Act.”
Watch as the audience lets him know he is 100% WRONG.
Terrence Murphy is running for the New York State Senate in the 40th District. He is endorsed by the extremist group the Right to Life – 9th Judicial District.
We Endorse Pro-Choice PETE HARCKHAM & Ask for YOUR VOTE to Make Pete our Next NYS Senator in the 40th District.
The NYS SD 40 is comprised of parts of Westchester County (Cortlandt, Lewisboro, Mt. Pleasant, City of Mt. Kisco, New Castle, North Salem, City of Peekskill, Pound Ridge, Somers, Yorktown), parts of Dutchess County (Beekman, Pawling) and parts of Putnam County (Carmel, Patterson, Southeast).
Watch Killian – the poster-child candidate for Trump’s anti-women/anti-choice extremist agenda – as she spouts radical-right lies about what she called ‘infanticide.’ Killian does NOT support women. She does NOT support Choice, and her right-wing ideology most definitely does NOT represent the women of New York. Instead,
Julie Killian is running for the statewide office of Lt. Governor on the ticket with anti-choice Marc Molinaro who is endorsed by the extremist group the Right to Life – 9th Judicial District. (Some may remember that Killian ran against Latimer and then Mayer for NYS Senate, and lost.)
We Endorse Pro-Choice Candidates KATHY HOCHUL for Lt. Governor and Andrew Cuomo for Governor!
*The Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act would require health insurance companies to include coverage of all FDA-approved contraceptive options, as well as contraceptive counseling, and services. This legislation passed the State Assembly by a 103-43 margin.
The Reproductive Health Act updates New York’s abortion laws, which were implemented three years before the Roe v. Wade (Roe) decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. NY law does not presently provide the full constitutional protection that is guaranteed under Roe. Passing the Reproductive Health Act will simply codify the protections guaranteed under Roe into New York State law. This would protect women in New York State in case Trump succeeds in overturning Roe. The Reproductive Health Act

Comments: Comments Off on WATCH 2 Anti-Choice Westchester Candidates LIE!
Bruised, Beaten, Distraught But Not DEFEATED. WE GET UP AGAIN.
Yes, survivors from all over the country spoke out and millions of Americans called, protested, and marched. But still, two key senators committed to voting to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, basically assuring his place on the Supreme Court.
Yes, Kavanaugh lied under oath. He lied about sexual assault. He lied about overturning Roe v. Wade. He lied about his determination to find against requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. And tomorrow, they will confirm him anyway.
Yes, we are despairing. But more importantly, We Are Angry- and that anger will take us farther, to the place we must go to win. To Take The New York State Senate.
Women all across the country came forward to courageously share their stories.
Together, we said “HEAR ME.” We said “LOOK AT ME.” And we said NO to Brett Kavanaugh.
Today Susan Collins and Joe Manchin committed to voting “YES” for Brett Kavanaugh, and therewith we fell short of the votes we needed to stop Kavanaugh.
But that defeat will feed us. Our power – the power of our movement has grown and will continue to grow–and this November we will storm the polls and show the politicians what our power can do.
Brett Kavanaugh is a lying sexual assaulter and extreme right-wing political hack. His horrific confirmation to the Supreme Court gives us all the power to put our fury to work.
>The president of the United States openly mocked survivor Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
>Only one Senate Republican seemed to care about us.
>The FBI investigation was a total sham.
We must channel our fury and use it to drive voters to the polls all over New York State.
We can make New York State a Reproductive Rights sanctuary so that women cannot be ignored. Not Here. Not Now. Not Ever.
Thank you & onward,
-Catherine, Janey, Pablo, Diane, Iris and the WCLA team

Julie is a 100% pro-choice, outspoken advocate of women’s reproductive rights.
In sharp contrast, her opponent, the incumbent, is just pretending to walk the walk. He has stood as a major roadblock in advancing women’s health care.
When elected,Juliewill dedicate herself to the passage of:
The Reproductive Health Act, which will guarantee access to safe and legal abortion in New York no matter what the US Supreme Court does to Roe.
The New York State Fair Pay Act which will establish that it is discriminatory and unlawful to pay different wages to employees doing the same job on the basis of sex, race, or national origin.
WE MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR NY WOMEN.
The sitting president and anti-choice Republican-controlled Congress now in Washington DC are committed to stripping women of all of our constitutional rights to control our own bodies – those very rights that were acknowledged by US Supreme Court decisions in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. The president’s nominee for the US Supreme Court is an outspoken opponent of abortion rights and is committed to overturning Roe v. Wade.
WE MUST DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO PROTECT NY.
That starts with defeating Julie’s OPPONENT in the NYS Primary on September 13th.
ABOUT JULIE’S OPPONENT: HER OPPONENT is a co-founding member of the so-calIed Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) in 2011.

Today was a great day. We came out in support of NYS Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins!
Voters, Have Your Say! VOTE on THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 13TH- It’s PRIMARY DAY.
Excerpts from the remarks made by the Reproductive Rights Advocates present to endorse Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins:
“At a time of real crisis in America, when the sitting president and anti-choice Republican-controlled Congress are committed to stripping women of all of our constitutional rights to control our own bodies; when the president’s nominee for the US Supreme Court is an outspoken opponent of abortion rights and committed to overturning Roe v. Wade, we must do everything in our power to protect the women of New York. We must stand united with Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins to make New York State a Reproductive Rights Sanctuary.” Catherine Lederer-Plaskett, Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion PAC
“Senator Stewart-Cousins has never backed up or backed down when it comes to fighting for our state’s women and girls. With endless attacks on reproductive rights on the federal level, we must have leaders like Andrea Stewart-Cousins who will fight for the freedoms essential to all New Yorkers. It’s time to elect a senate leader that will give a voice to the voiceless and fight for essential protections to shield us from federal attacks. We need Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins,” said Robin Chappelle Golston, President & CEO, Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts.
“Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins is a consummate champion for reproductive rights and abortion access. She embodies New York values, leading the charge to pass the Reproductive Health Act and the Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act, and fighting for the women and families of her district. The NIRH Action Fund PAC is thrilled to endorse Andrea Stewart-Cousins for State Senate,” said Andrea Miller, president of the National Institute for Reproductive Health Action Fund PAC.
“NOW is proud to endorse Andrea Stewart-Cousins for State Senate. Andrea is a strong leader and advocate for the women and girls of New York and has NOW’s full support,” said Sonia Ossorio, President of NOW-NYS.
“Andrea Stewart-Cousins has never forgotten why she ran for office: to make a difference for the women and children of Westchester County. Andrea’s vision for New York, funding quality public schools, keeping streets safe with sensible gun laws, and protecting a woman’s reproductive rights, is a vision for a New York where we can all thrive, together. Eleanor’s Legacy is proud to endorse Leader Stewart-Cousins for re-election to the New York State Senate and to be the fearless leader for the women and children of Westchester,” said Brette McSweeney, Director of Eleanor’s Legacy.

NYS SENATOR ANDREA STEWART-COUSINS NYS Senate District #35
(Greenburgh, Scarsdale, parts of New Rochelle, parts of White Plains and parts of Yonkers)
Talk sounds great but action is what matters. Andrea Stewart-Cousins is that “ACTION”.
Andrea is a 100% pro-choice advocate – inside the NYS Senate and outside. Andrea knows that to make comprehensive reproductive health care a reality in New York State requires vigilance, activism & work. Andrea has brought all of that to the table since her first term in Albany when she stepped up to sponsor the Reproductive Health Act. Despite bullets being shot through the windows of Andrea’s office in Yonkers, she has never backed away. She stands fully with the women of New York in our quest to guarantee all women all the rights that should be guaranteed to us under Roe v. Wade but are not now under New York State Law.
WE MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR NY WOMEN.
The sitting president and anti-choice Republican-controlled Congress now in Washington DC are committed to stripping women of all of our constitutional rights to control our own bodies – those very rights that were acknowledged by US Supreme Court decisions in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. The president’s nominee for the US Supreme Court is an outspoken opponent of abortion rights and is committed to overturning Roe v. Wade. WE MUST DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO PROTECT NY.
That starts with defeating Andrea’s OPPONENT in the NYS Primary on September 13th.
Her Opponent is anti-choice.
A bit of history about The Opponent:
*The Opponent was a registered Conservative until she decided to run for County government & realized that she could be not win in her district unless she changed parties. *The Opponent changed parties, got elected & within 3 years aligned herself with Anti-Choice, Trump-supporter, Right-to-Life endorsed, reactionary Republican County Executive Rob Astorino.
*The Opponent was chosen by the extremist group the Right-to-Life’s voting guide as the “preferred candidate”. *The Opponent voted to cut all funding from neighborhood health centers which the County had supported for years. *The Opponent then went on to refuse to return questionnaires or stand up in any way for women’s health care, including reproductive health care.
This Democratic Primary is Thursday, September 13th!
