Joe Lagana, Lisa Swain, and Chris Tully Endorsed by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey

Bergen County, NJ – Today, Senator Joe Lagana, Assemblymember Lisa Swain, and Assemblymember Chris Tully were honored to be endorsed by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey. Protecting a woman’s right to choose has been a cornerstone of their campaign and a top legislative priority. 

“Every woman should have the freedom to make her own health care decisions, and I was proud to fight to secure that right in New Jersey,” said Assemblywoman Swain. “The state legislature should never come between a woman and her doctor, and now every woman in Bergen County can feel confident that they’ll be freely able to make their own reproductive health care decisions.”

This endorsement comes in the wake of increasing attacks from Republicans on women's reproductive rights, including a proposed new abortion ban, Assembly Bill 305, introduced by New Jersey Republicans in the state legislature. If anti-choice Republicans like Micheline Attieh, Gail Horton, and Barry Wilkes take over the state legislature this fall, they’ll pass new abortion bans in New Jersey, cutting off access to our reproductive health care.

All three LD38 Democrats stand in staunch opposition to any such restrictive legislation and will continue to fight for women’s health care throughout New Jersey.

"A woman's right to her own reproductive health care is a top concern for many of my constituents,” said Assemblywoman Swain. “Republicans think the government should dictate what a woman can and can’t do with her body, but I’ll always fight for women’s right to make her own health care decisions.”
