TRENTON, NJ — New Jersey Right to Life and the New Jersey Family Policy Center voiced their strong opposition to Senate Bill 3663 during the Senate Health Committee hearing on Monday, October 7, 2024. The bill, sponsored by Sen. John Bruzicelli, would include the New Jersey Reproductive Health Travel Advisory, which would notify residents of abortion access restrictions across the United States.
The proposed advisory system would include “yellow” and “red” warnings to indicate that access to reproductive health care is restricted to varying degrees and could lead to civil or criminal consequences. It is. Opponents, including Marie Tacy of New Jersey Right to Life and Sean Hyland of the New Jersey Family Policy Center, say the criteria used in the recommendations are misleading and potentially confusing, and that medical They argued that this could put women facing emergency situations at risk.
Critics pointed to data from the Charlotte Rosier Institute and the Guttmacher Institute showing that even states with strict abortion regulations are allowing exceptions for medical emergencies. Mr. Tacey argued that no country should criminalize health care workers who provide necessary life-saving care, such as abortions and miscarriage management.
Sen. Angela McKnight, a co-sponsor of the bill, cited the death of Amber Thurman in Georgia in 2022 to justify the recommendation, but Thurman family attorney Ben Crump said she He blamed medical malpractice, not the statute of limitations, for his death.
Opponents argued that if passed, the bill would waste taxpayer resources while promoting what they called “scare tactics” and false information. They suggested that given current legal standards, all states would effectively fall under the lowest advisory level, rendering the proposed advisory system meaningless.
