Once again, the radical left is using fearmongering and misinformation to attack organizations that exist solely to help women in need. Assemblywoman Jessica Ramirez’s editorial is nothing more than a regurgitation of Planned Parenthood’s talking points, designed to prop up the abortion industry while vilifying crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) that dare to provide alternatives to abortion.
Let’s be clear: Crisis pregnancy centers serve women. Planned Parenthood serves an agenda.
The Real Reason They Want to Silence CPCs
The so-called "consumer protections" in Ramirez’s bill, A5418, are not about transparency. They are about intimidation. The left knows that when women are presented with the truth—when they see an ultrasound, when they receive support, when they are given real choices—they are far more likely to choose life.
Planned Parenthood and its allies cannot afford for women to have second thoughts because abortion is a billion-dollar business. That’s why they rely on dehumanizing language like “pregnant people” and “reproductive healthcare” to mask what they’re really defending—the intentional destruction of an unborn child.
The Hypocrisy of the Left’s “Health Standards”
Ramirez claims that CPCs mislead women and provide inaccurate information, yet she conveniently ignores the fact that Planned Parenthood has been caught on record lying to women about the risks of abortion, covering up sexual abuse, and even trafficking in fetal body parts.
If we’re talking about accountability, where is the left’s outrage over the utter lack of oversight in New Jersey’s abortion industry? Under Governor Murphy, we now have some of the most extreme abortion laws in the nation—no gestational limits, no parental notification for minors, and no requirement that abortions be performed by doctors.
That’s right—in New Jersey, a non-doctor can perform an abortion on a minor girl without parental consent, but somehow, it’s CPCs that are the danger?
Planned Parenthood’s Privacy Double Standard
Ramirez also falsely claims that CPCs lack confidentiality protections. The irony is rich. Planned Parenthood has been caught covering up sexual abuse and failing to report predators—yet New Jersey’s Attorney General Matt Platkin has never lifted a finger to investigate. Where is the accountability for women who have been harmed under the state’s radical abortion laws? In fact, OPRA records prove collusion between the NJ Attorney General and Planned Parenthood when drafting their joint sham "consumer alert".
Women Deserve Real Choice, Not Political Censorship
The left’s war on CPCs isn’t about “truth in advertising”—it’s about eliminating competition. Women in crisis deserve to know that they have options, and CPCs provide exactly that: free ultrasounds, baby supplies, counseling, and real support.
The abortion industry and its political enablers like Ramirez don’t want women to have that choice. They only want one outcome: abortion, on demand, for any reason, at any stage of pregnancy—because that is what funds their movement.
The people of New Jersey deserve better than this blatant attack on faith-based and community-driven organizations that exist to support life. I stand proudly with crisis pregnancy centers, and I will fight against any attempt to silence them with political censorship disguised as “consumer protections.”
