CONTACT YOUR STATE SENATOR AND ASSEMBLY MEMBERS!

As you know, pro-abortion forces have become unhinged since the draft opinion of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was leaked last week.  

Yesterday (5/11/2022), Governor Murphy held a Press Conference with pro-abortion legislators and abortion proponents to  announce legislation to "bolster" access to abortion.  He called for many of the provisions in the original Reproductive Freedom Act that didn't make it into the final bill signed in January.  Please read the Press Release we issued in response to Murphy's Press Conference which can be found below.  

Although we don't yet have a copy of the proposed legislation,  we have included a brief summary of those provisions from his Press Statement.  We will provide the bill number once it is available.  Governor Murphy said he wants to get this bill fast tracked and possibly moved by next week, so we suggest that you contact your legislators asap.   
 

Action Needed: 

Please contact your two  State Assembly Members and your State Senator and demand that they oppose Murphy's Draconian proposal to make NJ a sanctuary state on abortion.  You can search by county to find your legislators H ERE   You can also call the Office of Legislative services during normal business hours to find out who your three legislators are, 1-800-792-8630

• Mandating abortion in all health insurance plans with no co-pays, no deductibles, no co-insurance.
• Codify into law the NJ Board of Medical Examiners regulations permitting non-physicians to perform abortions.
• Prohibit public entities from cooperating with interstate investigations into the provision or receipt of abortions.  
• Allow a person in NJ who is successfully sued in another state for their involvement in abortion to file suit to recover damages resulting from that initial lawsuit.
• Create a Reproductive Health Access Fund to pay for abortions for anyone who resides in NJ or comes into our state that are uninsured.
• Provide clinical training grants to expand the number of health care providers with abortion training, and funding to help cover the costs of necessary security measures to protect abortion clinics.

Tell your U.S. Senators to Vote No on S. 4132,
The Women's Health Protection Act

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3755 last September.  The U.S. Senate took it up in February and it failed to pass.  Now, in the wake of the leaked draft of the U..S. Supreme Decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization,  U.S. Senator Chuck  Schumer has promised to post the bill for a vote in the U.S. Senate by next week.  

This legislation is very similar to the NJ Reproductive Freedom Act.  Please take immediate action to oppose this legislation.   Here is what the bill will do:

• Eliminate all state and federal parental consent laws in relation to abortion
• Eliminate all state informed consent laws, including those that allow women to view an ultrasound prior to abortion
• Prevent states from passing laws to protect babies at 20 weeks, thereby joining countries like North Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada, and the Netherlands in not protecting unborn children later in development
• Force doctors and nurses opposed to abortion to lose their jobs, and Catholic hospitals could lose public funds unless they perform abortions
• Eliminate decades-long limitations on direct taxpayer funding of abortion – including the popular Hyde Amendment, which has saved over 2 million lives since enacted
• In short, overturn all federal and state pro-life laws, and go further to make it illegal for elected officials to even introduce pro-life legislation
