. Former congressman Lou Barletta, one of the nine candidates, promised in a statement to be a “pro-life governor” and sign “pro-life legislation.”

Wade is overturned, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights think tank.“Regardless of whether or not the Supreme Court overturns, New Jersey’s position in support of the right to reproductive autonomy will remain clear and unchanged,” Murphy said during the signing ceremony.
On Monday night, Murphy called the draft Supreme Court ruling a “truly dark day in America,” but assured New Jersey residents their access to safe and legal abortions would not be impacted. “Access to reproductive health care remains available to anyone who needs it in New Jersey,” Murphy wrote.
