By all means, please read Marie Tasy’s “All-Trimester Abortion Clinic Expected to Open in New Jersey.” As she brilliantly outlines, New Jersey is eager to join the very top ranks of the anti-life states in the union, so the opening up of this abortion-up-until-birth clinic “was only a matter of time.”
She writes, “New Jersey is one of just nine states with no limits on abortion thanks to our abortion-obsessed Governor [Phil Murphy] and Democratic leaders in the legislature.”
When did unlimited abortion, often paid for by taxpayers, become the Democrat Party’s North Star, the be-all, end-all of what it means to be a Democrat? What was once was a gradual decline into the darkness has become an all-out, a pedal to the metal race to the bottom.
It’s a long, long way from Senator, later Vice President, Hubert Humphrey, who once said:
“The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”
I’m not one for using, much less relying on, ChatGPT, but this is a great distillation of Humphrey’s humane and caring philosophy:
This powerful metaphor—dawn, twilight, and shadows—underscores Humphrey’s belief that a just society is measured not by its wealth or power, but by its compassion and care for those who are least able to advocate for themselves.

Which takes us from the soaring heights of a caring and compassionate society to the depths of New Jersey’s forthcoming Luminosas Wellness Collective. The irony—the stunning moral blindness—at work in Dana DiFilippo’s story for the New Jersey Monitor is hard to fathom.
She tells us that:
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.
Well, thankfully, that’s about to change.
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…
New Jersey is now considered a “safe haven” [think about that for a moment] for women seeking abortion. But there are, currently, at least, some limits.
[M]ost New Jersey clinics cut off abortion access the later a woman goes into pregnancy, with Planned Parenthood providing it up to 16 weeks and 6 days and just two clinics, in Cherry Hill and Englewood, performing the procedure up to 27 weeks and six days into pregnancy. For New Jersey patients seeking abortions at or after 28 weeks, the closest clinics are in Maryland and Washington, D.C.
“At or after 28 weeks.” Have you seen a pregnant woman at or after 28 weeks? I did, just last night. How anyone could abort a child that advanced is beyond my ability to comprehend.
Tasy, the executive director of New jersey Right to Life, was quoted in DiFilippo’s story. She said it all:
if Brandi and Obando are allowed to move forward with their clinic, it “would leave an indelible stain on New Jersey.”
“This clinic’s stated mission is deeply perverse, making it one of the most extreme examples of the abortion industry’s lack of humanity,” Tasy said.
