The proposed resolution seeks to amend Article I of the New Jersey Constitution by adding a new paragraph that explicitly recognizes the fundamental right to reproductive freedom. This right encompasses access to contraception, the choice or refusal of sterilization, the ability to carry a pregnancy to term and give birth, as well as the right to have an abortion. The amendment stipulates that neither the State nor its subdivisions can deny or restrict this right, thereby solidifying reproductive freedoms within the state's constitutional framework.

If the amendment is approved by the General Assembly and the Senate, it will be presented to the public for a vote in the next general election, with the requirement that it be published in local newspapers at least three months prior to the election. Currently, reproductive rights in New Jersey are protected through case law and statutes, such as the Freedom of Reproductive Choice Act, but this amendment aims to provide a more explicit constitutional guarantee of these rights, ensuring that they are not solely reliant on legislative or judicial interpretations.
