Howell is a large township in the south of Monmouth County, about 54,000 people across sixty square miles.
Monmouth was one of the three counties — with Bergen and Somerset — where slaveholding in New Jersey was densest from 1737 until 1800. New Jersey was the last northern state to free its slaves, and the manner of it is what this organisation exists to argue about: the 1804 act freed no living person and bound children born afterwards until 21 or 25; the 1846 act renamed those still held as "apprentices" to their present owners; eighteen people were still held in 1860; and the Legislature voted the Thirteenth Amendment down in March 1865.
From 1737 to 1800 the heaviest concentrations of enslaved people in New Jersey were found in Bergen, Monmouth and Somerset counties. Monmouth's farms and estates were worked by people the law counted as property for more than a century before the state began, slowly, to reconsider.
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 Howell, or for Monmouth 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 Howell Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Howell 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.
