The New York Equal Rights Amendment, which would broadly prohibit discriminatory conduct by the state government, is back on New York’s November ballot after being restored by a state appeals court.
The amendment, which includes provisions enshrining a woman’s right to an abortion and forbidding discrimination based on gender identity, had been tossed off the ballot last month by state Supreme Court Justice Daniel J. Doyle, who ruled the State Legislature had improperly placed the amendment on the ballot without first getting a required sign-off by state Attorney General Letitia James, who appealed the ruling.
