The Freedom of Reproductive Choice Act (S49/A6260) was signed into law on January 13, 2022. This bill—separate from the Reproductive Freedom Act (S3030/A4848)—moves our state forward in protecting rights, but it notably leaves many communities without improved access to abortion and other reproductive healthcare services.
Please call your State Senator and State Assembly representative, to thank them for voting “Yes,” and to encourage necessary next steps towards reproductive justice in the 2022-2023 Legislative Session. Check the “Roll Call” below to confirm your representatives voted ‘Yes’.
CALL SCRIPT
Written by the National Council of Jewish Women, Essex County Section
My name is ______________, with UU FaithAction New Jersey, and I applaud the passage of S49/A6260, Freedom of Reproductive Choice Act, which codifies in statute the full array of reproductive rights, including abortion, and I thank you for your support.
While personal autonomy and decision-making is a priority, so is the care of others to ensure that their access to these rights is unimpeded. Together, we must break down the financial and logistical barriers faced by too many in our communities, especially Black, brown, low income and undocumented New Jerseyans. Let’s pass access provisions in this legislative session.
Bill S49/A6260
Legislative Session 2020-2021
Codifies constitutional right to freedom of reproductive choice.
