Empire State legislators have asked New York’s voters to amend the State Constitution.
With a title of the “Equal Rights Amendment” it is getting broad support as a means to lock in abortion as a protected activity. However many pro-family advocates across the political spectrum are now expressing concern about how Proposal One’s wording could open the door to transgender procedures with no parental notification, endangers women’s sports, and could add voting rights for non-citizens. Western New York State Senator George Borrello also tells us that, if this is approved by a majority this fall, it will create big business for attorneys who will file many more lawsuits related to the new Constitutional protections.
Borrello is among the organizers for a public information forum on Prop One. That public meeting was Tuesday (October 8) in Corning, New York. He spoke Wednesday morning about the issues with Bob Price of Family Life News.

A faith-centered story from Family Life News
Pretty Place is a renown open-air church at Cleveland, South Carolina. It was built in 1941. It has created memories for generations of visitors.
Last week, the devastating 60-70 mph winds in the remnants of Hurricane Helene hit that area.
Although much of the outdoor chapel suffered major damage in last week’s massive storm, the camp’s giant cross is still standing. Photos have gone viral, bringing hope to the region.
Family Life newscaster Sarah Harnish interviewed the president and CEO of Greenville’s YMCA, Sam Franklin. Listen to the full conversation in the podcast player here.

Sam Franklin has 33 years of experience with YMCAs, but he only recently was promoted to this new position.
