The Senate 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. In 2022, these centers contributed over $3.6 million in services and goods to more than 23,000 individuals, offering free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and essential baby items. The resolution emphasizes that these centers operate as non-profit organizations, often faith-based, and serve individuals regardless of their religious affiliation or financial situation.
In contrast, the resolution condemns Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin for his alleged harassment of these centers, which is framed as part of a politically motivated campaign against them. It criticizes the Attorney General's issuance of investigative subpoenas, which are described as overbroad and burdensome, aimed at silencing organizations that provide alternatives to abortion. The resolution argues that these actions reflect a bias towards promoting a pro-abortion narrative and calls for the protection of the valuable support that pregnancy resource centers offer to the community.
