New Jersey governor pledges to stockpile abortion pills ahead of Trump presidency

CV NEWS FEED // New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Jan. 14 that the state will “stockpile” mifepristone, a drug used in chemical abortions, as a precautionary measure ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House next week.

The Democrat governor’s announcement came during his State of the State address, where he outlined his administration’s stance on abortion and other priorities, NJ.com reported.

Murphy said that New Jersey is preparing to resist potential “anti-choice” policies under the Trump administration and a Republican-led Congress. He described the move to stockpile mifepristone as essential to ensuring that “every woman can access this crucial form of reproductive care.”

Even though Trump has previously stated he does not plan to restrict abortion drugs, Murphy said stockpiling the pills was necessary because Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general nominee, could revive the 1873 Comstock Act, which banned mailing abortion-related materials.

Murphy expressed his willingness to work with the incoming administration on shared goals but vowed to oppose policies that conflict with what he considers to be New Jersey’s values.

“I will never back away from partnering with the Trump Administration where our priorities align,” Murphy said. “But just as importantly, I will never back down from defending our New Jersey values — if and when they are tested.”

Murphy’s term as governor is set to end in a year.

Why would he need to stockpile if abortion is legal at the state level?

Wait, I thought all the lefties were not having sex for the next 4 years to protest Trump? That was quick. Related, the pregnancy crisis clinics have the ability to reverse this chemical abortion pill if timely, wonderful news!

Brilliant! Stockpile pills. Takes a bunch out of regional supply and prices go up. If they are stored too long or improperly, the efficacy is reduced and out comes baby!!

But governor the woman is to take the pill.

You should take Viagra insuring you have something to hold on to when you pee.

We might not like it, but it IS a state issue now. If the folks in the state don’t like it, they can do something about it.
