Expand Abortion Care for All

Act Now

We all have a right to abortion – without barriers, stigma, or government interference. As the U.S. Supreme Court and anti-abortion politicians strip millions of people of the fundamental right to abortion, we must respond with bold and collective action. Lawmakers must take immediate action to expand access to abortion in our state by passing the Reproductive Equity Act (S2918/A4350).

Subject

We all have a right to abortion - without barriers, stigma, or government interference. On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — the landmark decision recognizing the constitutional right to abortion nearly 50 years ago. This decision strips millions of people across the country of a fundamental human right and emboldens anti-abortion politicians across the country. This moment can only be met with bold and collective action. New Jersey lawmakers must take immediate action to expand access to abortion in our state by passing S2918/A4350 now.

Message Body

While New Jersey already took an important step to protect reproductive freedom by codifying the right to reproductive autonomy, including the right to abortion, this right remains in name only for far too many people.

New Jersey must take urgent action to tear down barriers that continue to stand in the way of abortion care, particularly for communities of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ communities, and people who are low-income.

I urge Governor Murphy and the New Jersey Legislature to take immediate action to expand abortion access by advancing and signing into law S2918/A4350. This urgent legislation will:

•	Mandate private insurers to cover abortion care with no out-of-pocket costs to the patient.
•	Establish a program to support the costs of abortion care for people who are uninsured or underinsured, including undocumented community members.
•	Create the Reproductive Health Access Fund to support abortion care clinical training programs, expand the number of providers in the state, and offer grants to reproductive health care facilities for security and operational needs.
•	Codify regulations that authorize health care professionals in New Jersey to provide abortion care.
•	Enact protections for providers and patients seeking abortion care.

This moment calls for bold leadership. I urge you to take swift action by passing S2918/A4350 and meaningfully expanding access to affordable abortion care for all. Anything less is unacceptable.

The gap in abortion access is a racial and economic justice issue, and that lack of access reinforces structural inequities that overwhelmingly harm communities of color and undocumented community members. We must guarantee that abortion is not just legal, but accessible and affordable for all, regardless of insurance, immigration status, or income, and we need it now.

Sincerely,
