New Jersey Supreme Court Protects Reproductive Freedom

In a unanimous decision, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that doctors do not have an obligation to inform women considering abortion that an embryo is a "complete, separate, unique and irreplaceable human being.”

The decision dismissed a medical malpractice lawsuit that sought to require physicians in New Jersey to give a non-medical, value-laden speech to their patients before providing abortion care.
