Revision History

New Jersey's legislature is advancing S2260, a bill that would create a new crime of "interference with reproductive health care services" covering both abortion and gender-affirming care, with penalties up to 10 years in prison and $150,000 in fines. The bill passed the state Senate 23-12 on party lines and awaits a final Assembly vote, drawing sharp disagreement over whether its broad language protects patients or criminalizes constitutionally protected speech.
