EMAIL SENT TODAY:
Dear Asm Moen and Asm Spearman,
You are both family men, and whether inner or outer city, the Bill A2218 will affect families and your neighbors:
In attending the Assembly Health committee hearing for this bill on May 18, I heard this tearful testimony:
“Thank you for protecting the most vulnerable.”
In addition to legal protections for abortion providers, and the doctors who offer services for gender dysphoria, the bill restricts freedom of speech to those who openly disagree with it.
Protecting the most vulnerable—isn’t that the unborn?
The “vulnerable” these activists were referring to are Minors who have opted for sex-change procedures. I agree they are also vulnerable.
NO CHILD should be burdened with a decision that is permanently life-altering.
NJ has the most permissive abortion laws in the country. Minors do not need parental consent and can abort up to 9 months, no gestational limit. As to gender surgeries and puberty blockers, NJ still requires parental consent but mental health care and medication for gender dysphoria are permitted. For both of these groups, New Jersey is an attractive sanctuary.
Per my email to you on May 13, which was my stated testimony on May 14, there are other consequences with this bill below, i.e., the much greater risk of human trafficking.
I urge you to vote NO and take an active stand against it in the Assembly roll call tomorrow. ANY LAW THAT PROTECTS ADULTS OVER THE CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED.
Thank you,
Constance Ditzel, Collingswood
