New Jersey Gov. Murphy signs bill preserving abortion in state law
Fox News
Over a dozen states have laws ready to go into effect following the Supreme Court's decision on the Mississippi abortion law.
"Regardless of whether or not the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, New Jersey’s position in support of the right to reproductive autonomy will remain clear and unchanged," Murphy said during a signing ceremony in Teaneck, New Jersey.
Murphy had pushed for the bill, but it was stalled in the Democrat-led legislature as the majority faced voters in November and then reeled from losing six Assembly seats and a net loss of one in the Senate.
