East Brunswick is a township of about 51,000 in the centre of Middlesex County.
The 1800 census counted 1,564 enslaved people in this county out of 1,827 Black residents — more than five in six. New Jersey's Gradual Abolition Act came four years later and freed none of them; it reached only children born afterwards, and only after twenty-one or twenty-five years of service to the person who owned their mother. The 1846 act that was said to finish the work renamed those still held as "apprentices". Eighteen people were still held in this state in 1860.
Middlesex County recorded 1,827 Black residents in the 1800 census, of whom 1,564 — more than five in six — were enslaved. Freedom and Blackness were not the same thing in this county, and the 1804 act did not make them so.

Abortion reporting to the CDC is voluntary, and New Jersey is one of four jurisdictions that declines. Its own Department of Health publishes no count of induced terminations, by county or statewide. The state that wrote abortion access into its statutes does not record how often it happens.
There is no figure for East Brunswick, or for Middlesex County, because there is no figure for anywhere in New Jersey. The best available independent estimate is 61,200 abortions provided by clinicians statewide in 2025.

Congregations we know of in East Brunswick Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in East Brunswick Township. We read every New Jersey congregation in the directory we work from — 106 of them — and found one in the whole state, in Glassboro. Abolitionists Rising, the movement's own national organisation, lists the same single church on its New Jersey page and no others. That is not a gap in the research. It is the situation.
If your church has taken a public position on abolition — from the pulpit, in a resolution, or in its own published words — tell us and we will verify it and list it here.
