🚨 ACTION REQUIRED: Tell Assembly Members to Vote NO on S2260/A2218 Thursday

---

Stop the attack on parental rights and the assault on children.

Rev. Gregory Quinlan answers questions from Assemblyman Robert Auth during the Assembly Appropriations Committee hearing.

While framed as protecting "reproductive health care," this bill represents a dangerous overreach that threatens core constitutional rights, parental authority, evidence-based medicine, and the safety of New Jersey families—especially our children.

Key Concerns:

Chilling Effect on Free Speech, Peaceful Assembly, and Religious Liberty: The bill’s broad "interference" provisions could criminalize peaceful protest, video recording, information distribution, or expressive activities near facilities—even within buffer zones. This risks turning concerned citizens, journalists, faith leaders, and advocates into criminals for exercising First Amendment rights. Such restrictions echo laws struck down or narrowed by courts for unconstitutional overbreadth. New Jersey taxpayers should not fund inevitable legal challenges.

Shielding Harmful Gender-Affirming Interventions on Minors: By protecting providers of gender-affirming care—including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors—from out-of-state accountability and professional scrutiny, the bill prioritizes ideology over science and child safety. The Cass Review (UK), Finnish studies, and other evidence show weak evidence for benefits, significant risks of harm (including worsened mental health, infertility, and lifelong medical dependency), and the need for extreme caution with minors. New Jersey should not create a "sanctuary" for experimental practices rejected by a growing medical consensus in Europe.

Undermining Parental Rights and Interstate Cooperation: The bill creates barriers to legitimate inquiries from other states in custody disputes or cases involving runaway minors. It erodes parental notification and consent—fundamental rights—while limiting transparency and accountability for controversial procedures.

Violates Constitutional Principles and Evidence-Based Policy: This legislation elevates certain interests while suppressing dissent, parental authority, and public oversight. It does not balance rights; it silences opposition to practices lacking robust scientific support. True "Do No Harm" healthcare protects the vulnerable, upholds free speech, and respects the natural family as the foundation of society (Matthew 19:4-6).

New Jersey Right to Life provides an excellent analysis of the amendments and substitutions that occurred in the New Jersey Assembly Appropriations Committee. See the link below:

The majority party in New Jersey appears focused on policies that harm children—both in the womb and outside—often without parental knowledge or consent. These measures violate the U.S. Constitution and lack scientific substantiation.

Reject S2260/A2218. Stand with New Jersey families for free speech, parental rights, religious liberty, and evidence-based policies that truly protect children. Vote NO and help defeat this bill before it reaches the Governor’s desk.
