AJR 207 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress to call constitutional convention to consider reproductive health care rights.

AJR 207 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging Congress to call a constitutional convention to consider amending the U.S. Constitution. It specifically seeks to establish a national standard for reproductive health care rights, including access to contraception, abortion, and pregnancy decisions, to replace the current patchwork of state laws following the *Dobbs* decision. The resolution requests Congress convene a convention - requiring two-thirds approval in both chambers - to propose such an amendment, which would then need ratification by 38 states. As a procedural resolution, it does not create law but formally requests federal action to address disparities in reproductive care access.
