Gov. Phil Murphy and Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.) stressed the need for Democrats to maintain control of Congress in the midterm elections in order to uphold abortion rights.
“If this Congress won’t protect reproductive freedom, America needs to elect a Congress in November, including Tom Malinowski, that will,” Murphy said at the beginning of an unrelated press conference in Lambertville about flood control that included the congressman.
“I also want to issue a warning that our law is not necessarily safe,” Malinowski said. “Yes, the Supreme Court decision will not overturn New Jersey’s law, but the same people who have been pressing for the Supreme Court to do this are also at the same time pushing for the United States Congress, trying to elect a majority to the United States Congress that will enact a nationwide abortion ban. And if we allow them to do that, our law will become moot.
No determinations have been made by lawmakers to one again begin debate on abortion access measures, though some involved in abortion legislation efforts wanted to revisit provisions that were excluded in the final compromise bill. “We know there were a lot of thing left out of that bill like mandating insurance coverage without co-pays or ensuring that folks who are undocumented also have coverage for abortion care,” Kaitlyn Wojtowicz, vice president of Public Affairs at Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey, said in an interview.
