On Thursday, January 6, 2022, the New Jersey Legislature advanced S49/A6260, legislation similar to the proposed S3030/A4848 “Reproductive Freedom Act.” This new legislation would codify in state law the right to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. The bill will be voted on by the full Senate and Assembly on this coming Monday, January 10th.Please go to our Diocesan website or the NJCC website to learn more about this proposed legislation that denies all rights of a child in the womb and please contact your Senate and Assembly representatives encouraging them to oppose and vote against this bill. You can access the New Jersey Catholic Conference Action Alert HERE. On this Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, let us recall that both John and Jesus were unborn children in their mother’s womb when Mary visited Elizabeth and heard the words, “Blessed are you among women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb.”
