New York Passes Extreme Abortion Measure: Will New Jersey be Next?

Marie Tasy, Executive Director
New Jersey Right to Life


Thank you to all who attended the March for Life in Washington, D.C. on Friday and the Rally for Life Tuesday in Trenton.

By now, you may have heard the sad news that both houses of the NY Legislature passed The Reproductive Health Act, which was signed into law last night by Governor Andrew Cuomo. I mentioned this legislation in my remarks at the Rally in Trenton.

The World Trade Center actually lit up pink to celebrate this bill legalizing abortions up to birth.  Read the story

Please pray for the babies and mothers whose lives are now threatened by this terribly egregious bill.

We will be watching to see if a similar bill will be introduced here in NJ. If that does happen, rest assured that NJRTL will vigorously fight it with every ounce of our being. 

We will need every pro-life citizen and pro-life group to activate their grassroots networks to help us so please talk to your friends, family and neighbors about NY's law and how far it actually goes so we can be ready to mobilize opposition to such a measure in NJ.

Thank you and please pray for New York and pray that New Jersey does not follow down this inhumane and cruel path.
