Monroe Township is in Middlesex County — one of two municipalities of that name in New Jersey, the other being in Gloucester County. This is the Middlesex one, about 50,000 people in the south of the county.
Middlesex held 1,564 people in slavery in 1800, out of 1,827 Black residents. New Jersey was the last northern state to free its slaves and did it in stages that were each defended as realistic: nobody living freed in 1804, the remaining enslaved renamed "apprentices" bound to their owners in 1846, eighteen still held in 1860, and a legislature that rejected the Thirteenth Amendment in March 1865.
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 Monroe, 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 Monroe Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Monroe 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.
