Egg Harbor Township is in Atlantic County, west of Atlantic City, with about 49,000 residents.
Atlantic County was created on 7 February 1837 out of the southern half of Gloucester County — the South Jersey Quaker country where free and self-freed Black families built settlements at Springtown, Marshalltown, Snow Hill and Timbuctoo, and where the Underground Railroad ran toward the Delaware. They were sheltering people from a state that was still, at that date, holding some of its own residents: New Jersey freed nobody living in 1804, renamed the enslaved "apprentices" in 1846, and still counted eighteen people held in 1860.

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 Egg Harbor, or for Atlantic 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 Egg Harbor Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Egg Harbor 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.
