Rep. Chris Smith Says New Jersey Governor’s Abortion Expansion Law a ‘Human Rights Abuse’

Suggested Reading from Marie Tasy - Executive Director for New Jersey Right To Life

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Congressional Pro-Life Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) condemned as a “human rights abuse” New Jersey’s new abortion expansion law that allows abortion even up until the moment of birth.

Smith said Friday in a phone interview that Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) is now “the abortion governor.”

“During the height of the pandemic, he ordered that all the abortion clinics get to stay open,” Smith noted about Murphy. “But necessary surgeries, including for cancer and other work were delayed or put off limits during the worst of the COVID crisis. What a revelation of priorities that was.”

Smith expressed his outrage at the celebratory signing ceremony Murphy conducted Thursday with the CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Alexis McGill Johnson, at his side.

“I mean, this is an outrageous piece of legislation,” Smith railed about New Jersey’s Freedom of Reproductive Choice Act. “It totally dehumanizes unborn children and makes them persona non grata. It will lead to even more abortions going forward.”
