A New York judge on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, blocked a politically important abortion rights amendment from appearing before voters on the November ballot. State Supreme Court Justice Daniel J. Doyle found that state lawmakers failed to follow procedural rules around passing constitutional amendments, incorrectly approving the amendment before getting a written opinion on the language from the attorney general.
