Vote NO on Prop 1 in New York, a Trojan Horse for Government Overreach | Bobbie Anne Cox

The Better for America Podcast

In this episode of Better for America, Rebecca Weber speaks with constitutional attorney Bobbie Anne Cox about the dangers of New York’s Proposition 1. According to Cox, this ballot initiative is presented as a way to protect against discrimination, but actually grants excessive government power and undermines parental rights. She explains how the vague language of the proposal could lead to conflicting rights among groups, and open the door to lawsuits across the state. “When this occurs, who gets their rights upheld when they conflict?” Cox also highlights the risk of non-citizens demanding equal rights under this measure, potentially receiving taxpayer-funded benefits and even voting rights. She describes it as a “Trojan horse” for government overreach and reverse discrimination, as the government would be legally allowed to discriminate in the name of preventing past or future discrimination. Cox stresses that Proposition 1 is not about abortion rights, despite the misleading claims from New York politicians, and she urges voters to educate themselves and vote NO to protect their freedoms."
