Fair Use, adopted from CBN post:
馃毃 NJ Gender/Abortion-On-Demand Enforcement Bill Heads to Final Vote Tuesday
A community askan, speaking with CBN, is urging all New Jersey Orthodox communities - especially Lakewood - to immediately call/email their state legislators — including Sen. Robert Singer, and Assemblymen Avi Schnall and Sean Kean, and Passaic's Assemblyman Gary Schaer — ahead of a planned vote in both houses Tuesday on a bill (A2218/ S2260) that could penalize parents and rebbeim for refusing to allow children to undergo "gender reassignment."
The bill, as originally drafted, created a new criminal offense for "interference with gender or reproductive health care services," exposing parents, rabbeim, or educators to potential prosecution for opposing a minor's gender transition. First Amendment activists, including leftists, sounded the alarm - and the language was altered - but still punishes "threats of violence" (or "perceived" violence) and "intimidation."
Despite the amendments, the askan warned that other dangerous language remains — including a clause directing judges to interpret the law in the broadest, most plaintiff-friendly way possible — which could still leave rabbeim, educators, and parents exposed to prosecution. He also described the current bill as "both inherently threatening and - additionally - a dangerous stepping stone" toward harsher legislation and enforcement down the road." ###
Rabbossai, it would be an unfathomable CHILLUL HASHEM if any Orthodox representative would abstain from actively opposing this Gezaira, especially while non-Jews are actively combating this avlah:

Sample email to please immediately send to legislators against NJ's "amended" transgender/abortion-at-whim-enforcement Gezeira S2260/ A2218 -- to be voted on in both houses of the NJ legislature TODAY (Tuesday) :

June 30, '26
Dear Assemblyman/ Senator ......... ,
As voters living in ......, we urge you to please actively VOTE NO against S2260/ A2218 - in any form.
This bill - even in its' amended form - threatens to criminalize certain types of Torah-mandated efforts to stop abusive and barbaric "transgender" procedures and abortion-at-whim. As such, it remains an Anti-Religious Edict - not all that different than those evil Greek decrees against which the Maccabees fought to the death to defeat.
A Yeshiva Rebbe, Rov, Rosh Yeshiva, Principal, Teacher/Morah, Social Worker, mental health professional, therapist, chevrusa, mentor - perhaps even a parent - could potentially face massive fines - and hefty jail time - for merely trying to verbally convince a girl or boy out of getting "gender-altering" (sic) drugs or surgery to "become" (sic) that which they are not, or convince a young woman not to murder her preborn infant (and pursue adoption if need be), or even for just saving her/him from being under the influence of evil parties grooming susceptible victims into their anti-Torah transgender/abortionist worldview -- provided a judge would find them in violation of the broad and vague provisions - remaining in this bill - criminalizing "interference" and "intimidation."
In addition to misinterpretations of liberal judges, we need to consider the provision that legally requires a judge to interpret the bill liberally - in favor of the anti-morality movement.
Furthermore, any legislation which advances - in any manner - the transgender or abortion-at-whim agenda is antithetical to the moral values of our Torah, and the principles on which the Constitutional Republic, almost 250 years old, was established. Any such legislation, regardless of "protections," merely enables those seeking to harm children and attack our communities to get ever closer to their predatory goals.
Whether this evil decree passes or not, we cannot allow our representatives to remain on the sidelines in this governmental war being waged against our youth and against our Torah.
Thank you in advance for employing genuine leadership when truly needed."
