Condemns Arizona Supreme Court ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Mayes banning abortions in the state and reaffirms New Jersey citizens' freedom to access reproductive health care services.
This Senate Resolution (SR 96) is a symbolic statement condemning Arizona's Supreme Court ruling in *Planned Parenthood v. Mayes*, which enforced an 1864 abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. It reaffirms New Jersey's existing commitment to reproductive freedom, citing the state's 2022 law (P.L.2022, c.51) that prohibits public resources from being used to restrict reproductive health care access. The resolution has no legal effect but expresses New Jersey's position that reproductive decisions should remain free from government interference. It does not change any laws or policies in New Jersey.
