NJ BISHOPS' STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR MURPHY’S PROPOSAL THAT NJ HEALTH INSURERS PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR ABORTION SERVICES
May 12, 2022
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. 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.
