Trenton – Senate Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz said she woke up to a nightmare last night to find out that the U.S. Supreme Court is on the verge of overturning the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision on abortion.
“I went to bed early and woke up in the middle of the night to the news that we could be facing a nightmare. In New Jersey, we prepared for the possibility that Roe v. Wade would be overturned. I am grateful that Senator Loretta Weinberg championed a bill that I co-sponsored that protects a women’s right to choose in New Jersey. But this isn’t just about us. This is about every woman in America and the future of our daughters. This pending U.S. Supreme Court decision is a step backward on our reproductive freedoms.”
