State advances first-of-its-kind bill targeting interfering with abortion, trans healthcare
A New Jersey Assembly committee has advanced a bill that would criminalize individuals who interfere with access to transgender and reproductive health care. The measure would make New Jersey the first state to explicitly criminalize such interference and would protect access to transgender healthcare for minors. If enacted, the bill would establish a new criminal offense for interference with reproductive health services, including abortion procedures, and would extend protections to individuals who travel to New Jersey from jurisdictions where abortion is restricted or illegal.
