Governor Murphy Sounds the Alarm on Incoming GOP Assault on Reproductive Freedom in New Jersey

Senate Minority Leader Bucco’s Comments Spark Outrage Across the State

TRENTON, NJ – Following an explosive editorial by NJ.com in which Senate Republican Minority Leader Anthony Bucco (R-25) confirmed that Republicans planned to launch a coordinated attack on reproductive rights if they win a majority in the State Legislature, Governor Phil Murphy is sounding the alarm on this imminent threat to abortion rights in New Jersey:

“Senator Bucco has now confirmed that if Republicans gain control of the State Senate, State funding for women’s health care and Planned Parenthood is on the chopping block,” said Governor Murphy. “It’s never been more clear that abortion access is on the ballot. We cannot afford to go backwards, and that’s why Democrats must come out and vote in this election to protect our freedom from extreme Republican attacks.”
