New Jersey Right to Life has continued its advocacy for protecting human life from conception to natural death, highlighting achievements such as the New Jersey Safe Haven Infant Protection Act, which has safely surrendered 102 newborns since 2000. The organization also supported pro-life policies during Governor Chris Christie's administration, opposed recent expansions of abortion laws, and actively engages in public education and grassroots efforts across New Jersey, including the annual New Jersey March for Life in Trenton.

New Jersey has enacted abortion shield laws like S2260, which were influenced by pro-abortion groups and legal advocates, complicating interstate enforcement of abortion restrictions. Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia introduced A5513, New Jersey’s version of the APPLE Act, aiming to promote informed consent and hold abortion pill providers accountable for harms caused by telehealth-prescribed abortion drugs.

The New Jersey March for Life held on October 8 in Trenton was the largest yet, featuring speeches from Congressman Chris Smith and state legislative leaders alongside NJRTL representatives. The event included participation from local churches, schools, the Knights of Columbus, and law enforcement, highlighting the pro-life community's presence in a state with expansive abortion laws.
