"In just over a month, the people of the Hudson Valley will have a choice whether they want a state senator who supports the Women’s Equality Act, or my opponent who wants to take away the rights women have had for more than 40 years since Roe Vs. Wade," said Gipson. "I believe we must protect these rights, and pass the Women’s Equality Act that will also ensure equal pay for equal work and greater protections against domestic violence.

“My opponent and her extremist allies who wants to repeal these rights that women have had for over 40 years, has been flooding our community with misinformation for months. This is all in an attempt to distract from my opponent’s extremist position against the Women’s Equality Act."

NARAL Pro-Choice New York and Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York have endorsed Gipson for re-election in the 41st Senate District. “NARAL Pro-Choice New York is so proud to endorse Sen. Terry Gipson for re-election,” said Miller. “His support of women’s rights, health, and equality have been crucial – and unwavering – over the past session. With champions like Sen. Gipson leading the way, we can finally pass the Women’s Equality Act."

Brooks echoed Miller's sentiments.

“State Senator Terry Gipson has been an unyielding leader in protecting a woman’s right to make her own health decisions and has stood up to extremists in his commitment to fighting for women’s equality," said Brooks.

"Gipson is a champion for the women and families of Dutchess and Putnam counties.”
