WESTVILLE NJ (June 27, 2018)(CNBNewsnet)--Yesterday, I had the pleasure of touring the Abilities Solutions, an organization based in Westville, New Jersey, that boosts employment opportunities for the disabled.

That is why I will not allow funding for sheltered workshops to be cut from this year’s budget and why the Legislature’s budget adds $5 million more for them than did the Governor’s. Abilities Solutions is just one example of an organization that would be negatively impacted by the Governor’s originally proposed budget that cut funding to many social service programs, including services for victims of...

The ruling was narrowly drawn and did not decide related issues. Writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas found the law to be an unconstitutional abridgment of the free speech rights of the crisis pregnancy centers. The law was not content neutral.
