By Hussein Rashid

…face of horrific attack; it was a mark of a courage and goodness common to New Yorkers of all types on that day and in the months and years that followed.

…nce of a double standard for abortion facilities; the speed with which the new regulations were handed down and compliance mandated; and the perception that the new regulations are intended to get around federal law), the measure has been controversial.
