- Compel health insurers in NJ to pay 100% of the cost of abortion
- Codify into law regulations that permit nonphysicians to perform abortions
- Create a tax-based fund to provide any woman in NJ with abortion services
The bishops have called the bill “a direct attack on the dignity and sanctity of life” and “further evidence that we have failed as a society when a mother feels that her only option is to end the life of her child.” The bishops reaffirmed the Church’s commitment to serve and stand by all mothers facing a hardship or unplanned pregnancy. More information will be provided on how to oppose this bill in the coming weeks.
