The resolution expresses strong support for pregnancy resource centers in New Jersey, highlighting their essential role in providing care and resources to pregnant women, including alternatives to abortion, medical treatment, and parenting education, often at little or no cost. In 2022, these centers contributed over $3.6 million in services and goods to more than 23,000 individuals, demonstrating their significant impact on the community. The resolution emphasizes that these centers operate without regard to a person's religious affiliation or financial situation, thereby reinforcing their commitment to supporting all pregnant individuals.
Additionally, the resolution condemns Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin for what it describes as harassment of these centers, characterizing his actions as part of a politically motivated campaign against them. It criticizes the Attorney General for issuing investigative subpoenas to pregnancy resource centers without any client complaints, suggesting that these actions are an overreach of his authority aimed at silencing organizations that provide alternatives to abortion. The resolution calls for the protection of the valuable support that pregnancy resource centers offer and seeks to affirm their right to operate without intimidation.
