OUTRAGE: Far-Left NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill Signs Draconian Law That Will Effectively Block People from Praying Outside Abortion Centers
The radical Left’s relentless war on religious freedom and the unborn has reached a terrifying new level in New Jersey. The post OUTRAGE: Far-Left NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill Signs Draconian Law That Will Effectively Block People from Praying Outside Abortion Centers appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has signed legislation establishing new criminal and civil penalties for “interference” with abortion and transgender medical procedures. Pro-life organizations condemn the law, arguing it could be used to prosecute peaceful prayer and counseling outside abortion facilities. The legislation expands New Jersey’s abortion “shield” laws, protecting providers from out-of-state actions and defining protected services broadly.
- New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill signed S2260/A2218, creating new criminal and civil penalties for “interference” with reproductive health care services.
- The law defines protected services to include abortion, contraception, assisted reproduction, miscarriage management, and gender-affirming care.
- A fourth-degree crime conviction carries up to 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine, with potential elevation for bodily injury.
- Pro-life groups, including New Jersey Right to Life and National Right to Life, argue the law infringes on free speech and religious freedom, and protects the abortion industry.
- The legislation also expands New Jersey’s “shield” laws to protect abortion and gender-clinic providers from out-of-state investigations and professional discipline.
