	New Jersey State legislature passes bills funding embryonic stem cell research and allowing homosexual unions

		According to the NJCC, fifteen New Jersey Catholic Hospitals, hundreds of Catholic parishes, the Catholic Health Association and all of New Jersey’s Catholic Bishops have endorsed this initiative and are working with the two public umbilical blood banks in New Jersey to actively support adult stem cell research.

	The Hudson Reporter - This land is my landState bills may make it harder to take property by eminent domain
		The New Jersey State legislature is considering four bills that would restrict the government's ability to seize private property through eminent domain.
		He said that areas such as Newark and Jersey City where redevelopment is sorely needed would be least affected by the bills, as the new regulations are meant to protect areas elsewhere in the state where eminent domain is not needed.
		According to state Public Advocate Ronald K. Chen, these bills revise the definition of "blight" so that it is more clear and objective, and appropriately restricts the ability of municipalities to use eminent domain for private redevelopment to those areas that are truly blighted, as the New Jersey Constitution requires.
