Please reach out to join a team and help us distribute these vital hotlines. You can also download the posters here. Goal #2: Help draft and enact NY policies that require all public healthcare and abortion facilities to post DVAST hotline posters. NY does not require ANY entity to post the DV hotline. NY requires only a limited category of 'healthcare providers' to post the Trafficking Hotline. Many abortion clinics are either not required to post the Trafficking Hotline or fail to, though required by law to do so. EVERY WOMAN AND GIRL DESERVES ACCESS TO DVAST HOTLINES!

Like the early feminist suffragists, FCLNY engages in grassroots activism and embraces the core principles of non-violence and non-discrimination. We promote the consistent life ethic and whole-life feminism. POSITION PAPERS ABORTION ASSISTED DYING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT , Violent Military Action There are currently more than 100 active armed conflicts occurring worldwide, according to the Geneva Academy , including in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Egypt, Nigeria, Somalia, India, Philippines, Mexico, Columbia, Pakistan, China, Afghanistan and the Central African Republic. Armed conflict most severely impacts women and children. S t atistics illustrate 468 million children live in armed conflict zones worldwide. Women and girls are more likely to become targets of sexual violence during armed conflict and constitute the majority of displaced people and refugees worldwide. Violent military action greatly disrupts essential social services for families. More than 7.6 million children under the age of 5 (living in war zones with U.S. involvement) are suffering from “acute malnutrition.” FCLNY CONDEMNS ALL FORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST HUMAN BEINGS, INCLUDING LETHAL WEAPONRY , RAPE, TORTURE, STARVATION, ABUSE, NEGLECT AND BRUTALITY.

According to The Guttmacher Institute , “Medication abortions accounted for 63% of all US abortions in 2023, an increase from 53% in 2020.” It is estimated that approximately 1 million abortions occurred in 2023. Science demonstrates : Abortion pills are four times riskier than surgical abortions, and elevate the likelihood of health complications for women and girls. Medication abortions are over fifty percent (50%) more likely than surgical abortions to result in a visit to an emergency department within thirty (30) days post-abortion; impacting one in twenty (20) females. The risks of chemical abortion include hemorrhaging, fever, incomplete abortion, and other complications such as, infection, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, on-going pregnancy, and uterine rupture. More than ten percent (10%) of women who undergo chemical abortions need follow up treatment for incomplete or failed abortions. The dangers of medication abortion increase as the embryo grows, and are potentially lethal for women and girls experiencing ectopic pregnancies. On average, almost forty percent (40%) of women ingesting abortion pills during their second trimester of pregnancy require surgery. NY fail s to require ultrasounds occur pre-chemical abortions, the surest, most reliable and accurate method for determining the gestational age of an unborn child or whether a pregnancy is ectopic . Further, simply dispensing chemical abortions, without adequate safeguards, also impedes the ability to detect and address any coercion that may have been exerted on a woman to abort her child. Studies show a sizable percentage of women who undergo abortion are coerced to do so by violent intimate partners and/or sex traffickers .

Studies show abortion increases women's risk of depression and anxiety. Check out Feminists Choosing Life of New York at FCLNY.ORG . PSA IV "All human beings deserve to live free from violent destruction: this is the first human right we all share, equally, from conception to natural death. That means no abortion, no unjust war, no death penalty, no assisted suicide. Violence harms us all and undermines equality. Consistency is key: human rights are built upon the solid foundation of our shared humanity. Join the growing pro-life feminist movement with Feminists Choosing Life of New York.Org and Rehumanize International.Org." PSA V “Scientific consensus demonstrates human beings begin their existence at conception. Abortion ends the lives of children. Pregnancy involves two separate human beings. Let’s increase helping vulnerable pregnant women. Paid For By Feminists Choosing Life of New York, FCLNY.ORG PSA VI "Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms in this beautiful month of May! Elizabeth Cady Stanton, an architect of the Woman’s Movement once said; “If we [as women] were free and developed, healthy in body and mind, as we should be under natural conditions, our motherhood would be our glory. That function gives women such wisdom and power as no male ever can possess" Join the growing pro-life feminist movement with Feminists Choosing Life of New York.Org" PSA VII Chemical abortion kills human beings and increases health risks for women. The dangers of medication abortion include hemorrhaging and pelvic inflammatory disease. Ingesting telehealth, mail order abortion pills without an in-person appointment further threatens women. Studies show violent partners and sex traffickers coerce a sizable percentage of women into abortions. Join the growing pro-life feminist movement at Feminists Choosing Life of New York. Org. PSA VIII Women today who support the abortion pill run counter to suffrage leaders like Susan B. Anthony. Her newspaper, The Revolution , refused to carry advertisements for “..immoral medicines ”. The horror of abortion drugs was explained in 20 editorials. Feminist leaders condemned those “who sell or distribute drugs … to procure abortion…and make a living by the slaughter of their own race. Join the growing pro-life feminist movement with Feminists Choosing Life of New York at FCLNY.ORG” PSA VIII "The progressiveness of civilized societies reveals itself by how they treat vulnerable and marginalized women and children. Pregnant mothers and their unborn children deserve the kindest, most tender, effective and comprehensive support. Abortion is violence. It destroys human life and increases women's risks of a multitude of health problems, including substance abuse, depression and anxiety. We can do better. We must do more to help fragile families everywhere. Join the growing pro-life feminist movement at FCLNY.ORG " PSA IX “Did you know? New York’s abortion rate is double the national average, with over 250 abortion providing facilities within its borders, more than nearly every state. Contrary to pro-choice messaging, women do not need abortion. Instead, women need life-affirming resources, including affordable-accessible child care, better paid parental leave, prenatal child support and expanded child tax credits. Without options there can be no choice. Join the growing pro-life, pro-woman movement with Feminists Choosing Life of New York at FCLNY.ORG.” PSA X "Did you know that the architects of the women’s suffrage movement in the U.S. were pro-life? Abortion rights did not become central to mainstream feminism until the late 1960’s sexual revolution. The early feminists embraced non-violence as the core principle of equality and nondiscrimination. Our feminist foremothers recognized the violence of abortion, and the need to support pregnant women. Pro-life feminism protects vulnerable human beings and empowers women, children and families, at every stage of development. Join the growing pro-woman, pro-life movement with Feminists Choosing Life of New York at FCLNY.ORG ." PSA XI “Did you know? According to scientific consensus , human beings begin their existence at conception. Abortion ends the lives of children. Women do not need to destroy their offspring in order to achieve. Life brings hope and strength! We must continue helping women facing unplanned pregnancies. Believe women harmed by abortion. Join the growing pro-life feminist movement with Feminists Choosing Life of New York at FCLNY.ORG” PSA XII Did you know there are more pregnancy resource centers than abortion clinics in New York? Pregnancy Centers VALUE BOTH mother and child, and provide life affirming care to BOTH. Many centers help mothers apply for affordable housing, child care assistance and health insurance and directly give families essential goods including cribs, strollers, car seats, clothes and infant formula, many offer referrals to more resources, such as nutrition programs, parenting classes, and adoption services.
