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 Health Act across the street from a ceremony in which one of the bill’s co-sponsors was taking his oath of office on Sunday.
Former Republican state Sen. Marty Golden was among the dozens of protesters standing on Shore Road and 83rd Street across 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 long-time incumbent Golden in November.
