Sherrill Signs Horrendous Pro Abortion Bill

New Jersey Right to Life (NJRTL) strongly condemns Governor Mikie Sherrill’s decision to sign S2260 into law. This legislation grants sweeping legal immunity to abortion providers and erects new barriers against accountability for activities the state now broadly labels “reproductive health care,” shielding them from certain investigations, legal actions, and records requests originating outside New Jersey.

“Governor Sherrill just signed a blank check for the abortion industry and a death warrant for countless unborn children with beating hearts, and she did it despite thousands of emails from New Jersey residents urging her to veto this bill,” said NJRTL Executive Director Marie Tasy. “S2260 does not protect women. It protects the people who end the lives of living human children already growing in the womb. New Jersey should be a sanctuary for mothers and babies, not a legal fortress for those who profit from abortion.”

S2260 extends protections to a wide array of procedures, treatments, medications, and services classified under state law as “reproductive health care.” It restricts out-of-state investigations, legal proceedings, and demands for records connected to those activities, insulating abortion providers from external scrutiny.

The bill also creates a new crime of “interference with reproductive health care services.” “Because terms such as “threat,” “intimidate,” and “coerce” are inherently subjective and rest on individual feelings, this language poses a serious danger to free speech,” said Tasy. “Peaceful sidewalk counseling, prayer, holding signs, or simply offering help and alternatives outside a facility can easily be labeled “intimidation” by someone who claims to feel threatened, leaving pro-life advocates open to criminal charges that are difficult to disprove and chilling constitutionally protected expression.”

“The use of the term ‘reproductive’ to describe abortion defies the very meaning of reproduction. Reproduction has already taken place once a child is conceived. Abortion does not advance reproduction; it ends the life of a living human child whose heart is already beating. Calling a procedure whose intended outcome is the death of that child “health care” is a perverse distortion of both language and reality.”

“This law is a deliberate act of defiance against the most basic human right — the right to life of every child in the womb with a beating heart,” Tasy said. “Governor Sherrill and her allies have chosen to put the full power of state government behind abortion while building walls to keep accountability out and they are now creating vague new criminal penalties that can be used to silence those who object to these radical policies. That is not compassion. That is blatant extremism. Women deserve meaningful support and genuine alternatives, not a state government focused on expanding protections for abortion.”

“No mother should ever be told that the only solution to her crisis is the death of her child; a living human being with a beating heart,” Tasy concluded. “We will not stand by while New Jersey turns abortion into a protected industry and criminalizes those who oppose it. We will fight for the day when every woman facing an unexpected pregnancy is met with practical support, genuine alternatives, and the unshakable truth that both her life and her child’s life are worth defending.”

Read It, Recite It, Share It With Others!

In Congress, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature; a right inestimable to them and fromidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;

For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;

For imposing taxes on us without our consent;

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury;

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses;

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies;

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.

In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, aquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that, as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Revealed: The Italian Hand In America's Founding!

Before America had a Constitution, it needed words, ideas, and a vision of what a republic could look like. 
These Italians gave it all three.

Filippo Mazzei lived next door to Thomas Jefferson in Virginia, and the two men spent years exchanging ideas about liberty and government. Mazzei's own writing, "all men are by nature equally free and independent," is widely credited as the inspiration behind Jefferson's "all men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence.

While Mazzei gave the founders their words, Gaetano Filangieri gave them a framework. His major work, "The Science of Legislation," reached Benjamin Franklin directly, and his ideas on law and government shaped political thought during the founding era.

Andrea Palladio never set foot in America. He lived two centuries before the Revolution. But his classical architectural style became the visual language of the young republic. Jefferson studied his work closely, and that influence can still be seen in Monticello, the University of Virginia, and the federal buildings that define American government today.

Words, ideas, and vision. Italians and Italian Americans helped shape this nation from its very first chapter.

The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is a proud Supporting Partner of America250 honoring the generations of Italians and Italian Americans who have shaped our nation.

The Incredible Story Of Caesar Rodney, Patriot!

The Deciding Vote: Caesar Rodney, a Founding Father With Italian Roots, Delivered the Vote That Declared Independence

 

On July 2, 1776, Caesar Rodney rode 80 miles overnight from Dover to Philadelphia in a race against time. Arriving as the vote on independence was already underway, he cast the tie-breaking ballot that secured Delaware's support for separation from Great Britain, paving the way for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. (Rodney's monument, pictured above, stood in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, from 1923 until its removal amid civil unrest in June 2020.)

A two-day reenactment will revive the harrowing journey; portraying Caesar Rodney is Ciro Poppiti, founder of the Delaware Italian American Foundation.


On July 1, 1776, the Delaware delegation to the Continental Congress was deadlocked on the question of independence. One delegate supported breaking from Great Britain, another opposed it, and the fate of Delaware’s vote hung in the balance.


About 80 miles away in Dover, Caesar Rodney — a Founding Father, lawyer and politician with English and Italian roots — received word of the impasse and set out on a grueling overnight ride to Philadelphia.


Arriving just in time on July 2, Rodney cast the tie-breaking vote that delivered Delaware’s support for independence, clearing the way for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and forever securing his place in American history.


As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, 250Ride.org will bring Rodney’s remarkable journey to life with an immersive two-day reenactment of his historic ride by horse-drawn carriage.

Born in St. Jones Neck in Dover Hundred, Kent County, Delaware, Caesar Rodney, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a descendant of the noble Adelmare family from Treviso, Italy.

Portraying Rodney is Ciro Poppiti, founder of the 250 Ride and the Delaware Italian American Foundation, and the unanimous choice to bring Rodney to life.


The journey will officially begin on Friday, June 12, with a prayer at Historic Christ Church in Dover, setting the tone for a launch rooted in unity and reflection.


From there, the Ride will travel north through Delaware, culminating that evening at Thousand Acre Farm in Middletown, where guests will gather for the 250 Ride Gala.

Declaration of Independence, by John Trumbull (1818), portrays the presentation of the Declaration of Independence to Congress. Rodney was not depicted in the painting.

On Saturday, June 13, the reenactment continues through Historic Old New Castle, joining the annual Separation Day Parade before concluding later that day at Independence Hall in Philadelphia.


For more on the story and upcoming events, visit 250Ride.org.

The uprooted Caesar Rodney monument, pictured at the top of the newsletter, was taken out of storage and installed in Washington, D.C.’s Freedom Plaza in April 2026 as part of the nation’s America250 summer celebration.


The Delaware Italian American Foundation is a proud member of the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations (COPOMIAO).

Formed in NYC in 1975, the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations (COPOMIAO) — a national coalition of 74 cultural, educational, fraternal and anti-defamation groups — seeks to promote our history and traditions for today’s generations, and tomorrow’s.

Important Words To Remember Right Now!

"Man’s most sacred possession is his individual soul. . . . those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for divine will. And this Nation . . . . was founded upon the rejection of that notion and upon the acceptance of God as the author of freedom."

Washington Nationals Shun 'Very Catholic' Player?

CV-logo-slogan_1-14-25


Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams is a faithful Catholic. On social media, he describes himself with the beautiful phrase “Servus Christi”— Servant of Christ.

 

According to a disturbing report, a senior Washington Nationals executive was caught on camera saying the team does not use Williams in certain social media content because of his Catholic faith and his public defense of Catholics against anti-Catholic mockery.

 

What was his crime to deserve this punishment? Williams stood up when the Los Angeles Dodgers chose to honor a group infamous for mocking Our Lord, Our Lady, the Eucharist, priests, and religious sisters. You know that because you probably were there, supporting CatholicVote when we decided to publicly confront and call out the Dodgers.

 

And now a Nationals executive has reportedly admitted that, because Williams is “very Catholic” and spoke out, “we don’t use him on social.”

 

If this is true, this is religious discrimination.

 

As Terry Schilling, President of American Principles Project, said on X, this is important because such things can happen anywhere: on sports teams, on school boards, and the boards of corporations nationwide.

 

CatholicVote is demanding answers and immediate action from Washington Nationals owner, Mark Lerner.

 

But I also want all of us to do something more; something unmistakably Catholic...

 

Let’s stand with Trevor Williams.

 

Amplify his voice by following him on social media:

 

On Instagram: @mellamotrevor

On X: @MeLlamoTrevor

 

Then leave him a strong message of solidarity and encouragement: You are not alone. Millions of Catholics are grateful for your courage. And we are praying for you.

 

This is how Catholics respond: We demand justice…and then we build something good.

 

The message to the Washington Nationals is clear: Catholics will not be quietly pushed out of public life.

 

Go forward bravely,
