New Jersey’s state government goes out of its way to alienate small businesses and taxpayers, but Trenton’s Democrat majority is leaning into its stated goal of turning the Garden State into a destination for “abortion tourism,” aka, a places where women in states with more restrictive abortion laws can obtain an abortion with few or no strings attached.
The Assembly Community Development and Women’s Affairs will consider multiple abortion tourism bills on Thursday (March 20th) beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Here’s the list:
S2522/A861 provides the Attorney General with expanded authority to prosecute crisis pregnancy centers (an alternative to abortion clinics) for consumer fraud.
S3663/A4915 would create the so-called “New Jersey Reproductive Health Travel Advisory” to advise New Jersey residents of other states’ abortion restrictions using a color-coded system (blue, yellow, and red).
A3418 aims to prevent data collection of woman obtaining abortions and establishing cooperation with other states to prevent extradition of woman who obtain abortions.
Sure, it’s ideological (Dems are obsessed with infanticide, their secular sacrament), but it’s also big business. Democrats have a well-established quid pro quo relationship with the multi-billion dollar American abortion industry; the party’s politicians subsidize and legislatively support abortion providers while abortionists reciprocate by annually donating millions of dollars to almost exclusively Democrat campaigns.
Approximately one-third of Planned Parenthood’s revenue is directly from the government through contracts, grants, and Medicaid reimbursements. In 2015, Planned Parenthood received an estimated $390 million from federal and state taxpayers. By 2023, that number had exploded to just shy of $700 million. Phil Murphy’s latest and last budget proposal includes $52 million – for one state! – to subsidize “family planning” services.
