Daily News | New Jersey adds measures to protect out-of-state abortion seekers and the medical providers helping them
decision is still relevant today, and is also integral to these new laws that will offer basic protection for those seeking and those administering reproductive health care in New Jersey,” said Sen. Nellie Pou , one of the Senate sponsors.
One anti-abortion method expected to gain popularity is allowing civilians to file civil lawsuits against abortion providers. Laws like New Jersey’s would prohibit state employees and officers from cooperating with out-of-state investigations seeking to impose criminal or civil liability. David S. Cohen, professor at the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law, said bills like New Jersey’s and executive orders passed by governors in states including Massachusetts and Minnesota offer real protections in the upcoming “state versus state conflicts that we have not seen in a long time.”
“The New Jersey bill and the other laws say ‘We’re going to try and make it so it’s hard for you to even try to wrap our providers into this mess…because we’re not going to participate and we’re not going to order our people to participate,’” said Cohen.
