AR 148 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Condemns action of Republican members of United States Congress in failing to support passage of SB3612; affirms New Jersey Legislature's commitment to protecting reproductive freedom and full access to reproductive health care.

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 148) condemns Republican members of the U.S. Congress for failing to support Senate Bill 3612 (SB3612), a federal bill designed to protect access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies. The resolution specifically notes that 48 Republican senators voted against advancing SB3612 (which would have barred restrictions on IVF access and granted individuals rights to treatment and genetic material), while two Republicans supported it. It affirms New Jersey’s existing commitment to reproductive freedom, including full access to IVF services, as part of the state’s longstanding policy. The resolution serves as a formal statement to federal lawmakers, highlighting the contradiction between Republicans’ public support for IVF and their opposition to the federal legislative protection.
