New Jersey makes it illegal to interfere with reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare
Reported byGoodGoodGood ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
New Jersey's legislature voted 55–23 in the Assembly and 25–15 in the Senate to pass legislation criminalizing interference with reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare, strengthening legal protections for patients and providers and positioning the state as a sanctuary for those seeking such care.
The bill passed along party lines and faces ongoing debate about scope and child-age provisions; implementation and enforcement remain to be seen.
