TRENTON, NJ – Last week, in light of the leak of a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to turn abortion rights over to the states, Governor Phil Murphy doubled down on his commitment to keeping abortions legal in New Jersey.
Murphy’s administration issued a swift statement to combat the federal court’s decision.
“With the U.S. Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade – a decision that would have significant consequences for reproductive rights throughout the country – Governor Phil Murphy announced renewed efforts to secure abortion rights and bolster access to reproductive health care in New Jersey,” Murphy said. “Alongside partners in the Legislature, the Governor announced legislation to protect and expand coverage for reproductive health care, and protect medical providers and patients who provide or receive abortion care in New Jersey from legal retaliation by states who have outlawed or restricted abortion.”
The Newark Archdiocese of the Catholic Church issued a statement condemning Murphy, who is also a member of the Catholic Church.
“The Catholic Bishops of New Jersey join to express our disappointment and outrage over Governor Murphy’s announcement regarding proposed legislation to expand access to abortion in New Jersey, an act that by its very nature terminates human life,” the Bishops said. “If enacted, this legislation would mandate health insurance coverage for abortions, codify regulations that permit non-physicians to perform abortions; and create a public fund that dedicates taxpayer money to pay for abortions.

Where exactly does abortion fit in the “reproductive health care” spectrum?
Oops, I forgot: Phil Murphy is a rat-faced turd, and I hope he rots in hell.
This as another stolen election. The state just flipped red for first time in decades but somehow Murphy came up with just enough votes to win.
How many of these yahoos like Murph would be around today if abortion had been legal when they were conceived?
Haven’t these cowards heard of excommunication?
It’s as plain as the noses on their face this is what should happen. A so-called Christian can go to a lunatic left-wing church. That’s one thing. But the Catholic Church is clear on their beliefs on this matter.
P
I guarantee these Bishops voted for Murphy, all flipping hypocrites. Crocodile tears.
I know, I was born in NJ and have lived here my entire life. It was a great place when I was young. Now, I can’t wait to get out. When I returned from a trip recently, I stepped off the plane, and was struck by my immediate disgust upon entering the airport concourse at Newark. What a sh*thole. Most of the state has become like a foreign country. “Replacement” is real, and it is happening at a tremendous pace. People in NJ are mostly rude, impatient, self-important, and aggressive. It’s the kind of place where many people would just as soon step on you as help you get up. And our politics are absolutely rotten to the core.
