Bill > AR127

This resolution condemns the Arizona Supreme Court ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Mayes, which reinstated a Civil War-era 1864 law that completely bans abortions in Arizona with no exceptions for rape or incest. The resolution highlights the context of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and left reproductive rights regulation to individual states, and criticizes the Arizona ruling as dangerous and against the will of the people. It emphasizes New Jersey's commitment to protecting reproductive freedom, noting that the state has legislation preventing public resources from being used to support interstate investigations related to reproductive healthcare. The resolution formally condemns the Arizona court's decision, expresses concern about the uncertainty and fear the ruling creates for Arizona citizens, and reaffirms New Jersey's dedication to protecting its citizens' reproductive rights and access to reproductive health services. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be transmitted to New Jersey's congressional representatives, the state Health Commissioner, and the Attorney General.
