Demonstrators rally against Reproductive Health Act; Golden among protesters outside Gounardes ceremony
A group of anti-abortion demonstrators held a protest rally against the state’s new Reproductive Freedom Act across the street from a ceremony in which one of the bill’s co-sponsors was taking his oath of office on Jan. 27.
Former Republican state Sen. Marty Golden was among the dozens of protesters standing at Shore Road and 83rd Street, across the street from Fort Hamilton High School, where Democratic state Sen. Andrew Gounardes was celebrating an oath of office ceremony in front of hundreds of people in the auditorium.
Gounardes defeated Golden in November.
