UPDATE: Gov. Phil Murphy announced in a tele-town hall conference Monday that he plans to sign into law bills that will restore $7.45 million to women's health care centers and extend eligibility for people to get family planning services under Medicaid.
The bills got final approval last week in the New Jersey Assembly.
Murphy
said restoring the funding and making women's reproductive health care a
priority in the state budget "is the right thing to do, and not only
that, is the smart thing to do," he said in the tele-town hall,
organized by members of New Jersey's Planned Parenthood network.
Murphy
plans to sign the bills Wednesday morning at the Trenton War Memorial
with Cecile Richards, president of the national Planned Parenthood
Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
