Women's Equality

The Women’s Equality Party is a New York political party active only in that state. It was founded in 2014. The party’s name came from the Women’s Equality Act, a bill that Cuomo was attempting to push through the New York State Legislature but stalled after he and the bill’s supporters demanded a clause codifying Roe v. Wade be included even as the Republican-led New York State Senate refused to include the clause (the Senate did pass the rest of the bill, but the rest of the legislature refused to consider the bill without the Roe clause).
