Suozzi, a Catholic who supports abortion rights, in May 2005 proposed the plan to encourage adoption, promote information about contraceptives to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and provide homes for single mothers in the county. Suozzi has said he hopes the plan can "bring together opposing sides" to create a "world with fewer abortions" (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 5/12/05). He also appointed a 70-member task force to work on the proposal (AP/7online.com, 2/7). Members of the task force include representatives of public schools, universities, hospitals, social services, religious groups and not-for-profit organizations -- including Planned Parenthood of Nassau County and Catholic Charities USA, which support and oppose abortion rights, respectively -- the New York Times reports (Lambert, New York Times, 2/6).
