The New Jersey Catholic Conference, the public policy arm of New Jersey’s five Catholic Dioceses, is deeply troubled by the New Jersey Senate’s decision to “fast track” S3452, legislation that would mandate that all State-regulated health plans, including Medicaid, cover 100% of the cost for abortions. Additionally, the legislation authorizes non-physicians to perform abortions and prohibits malpractice insurers from penalizing medical professionals for providing abortions or gender affirming care on the basis the procedures are illegal in other states.
