The Honorable Wendy Davis
Texas State SenateP.O. Box 12068Capitol StationAustin, Texas 78711
Dear Senator Davis:
As women legislators in the New York State Assembly, we are pleased to be joined by our Speaker, Sheldon Silver, in applauding your courageous and
principled stand in support of the rights of women. You gave women a triumphantvoice during a critical debate when you stopped a bill that would have given Texasone of the most restrictive reproductive health laws in the country. Thanks to your efforts, a woman’s freedom of choice was protected in Texas. This is a victory notonly for the women of Texas but for women nationwide.
In light of the extreme proposals against reproductive health and women’s rightsacross the nation, it is more important than ever to join together and stand up for awoman’s right to make her own decisions about her health. We stand with you and the thousands of women who joined you in the Texas Senate chamber and on line
to support your efforts.
In Albany we will continue our work to safeguard the rights of women in New
York. We have been long time advocates and supporters of the Women’s EqualityAct. We too want to ensure equal protection under the law for all women.
Sincerely,
7/28/2019 Sen Davis Letter fom NYS Assembly Speaker Silver, women lawmakers
