People seeking abortions later in pregnancy could soon get them in NJ

FROM THE ARTICLE

A lot of people have concerns around providing abortion and providing gender-affirming care in the political landscape right now, but we are providing care because we know people need this care and they’ve had very limited access to it.
Former PRH Board Chair Dr. Kristyn Brandi

Abortion foes often criticize New Jersey for allowing abortion “up until the moment of birth,” because the state is one of just nine nationally that sets no limit on when someone can end their pregnancy.

But clinics here don’t provide abortions past the second trimester, which means people who seek abortions after then must head to other states.

That’s expected to change next year, when a nonprofit aims to open an all-trimester clinic in Hudson County that will provide abortion up to 34 weeks, as well as gender-affirming care for all ages, HIV care, and other services.
