Three Years After Dobbs: 4 Days, 4 Ways Jack Ciattarelli Would Threaten Reproductive Freedom in NJ
TRENTON, NJ – Three years ago today, a right-wing Supreme Court crafted by Donald Trump decided in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health to overturn 50 years of settled law and rip away reproductive freedom for women across the United States.
Jack Ciattarelli would put that freedom at further risk for millions of New Jersey women. Over the next four days, we’ll remind you of four reasons why.
First –
He’s been crystal clear: Jack Ciattarelli wants to defund Planned Parenthood.
When asked last month, “Would you continue to fund Planned Parenthood?” Ciattarelli answered, “No.”
In his last losing campaign for governor, he emphasized, “I’ve never been one that supported taxpayer dollars being used for abortion or organizations that advocate for abortion.” His campaign website said the same thing.
After Chris Christie cut $7.5M for Planned Parenthood and other reproductive care services from the state budget, Ciattarelli “voted six times against Democratic-sponsored legislation” to restore it.
Remember: Ciattarelli says himself that he agrees with Trump – who brags “I killed Roe v. Wade” – on every single issue.
“Three years ago, the Dobbs decision made state-level leadership on reproductive freedom more important than ever, and Jack Ciattarelli has shown us the kind of governor he’d be: He’s pledged to support an abortion ban and defund critical health care providers because he cares more about attacking reproductive freedom than letting New Jersey women get the care they need,” said New Jersey Democratic State Committee spokesperson Ryan Radulovacki.
