Old Bridge is a large township in the east of Middlesex County, grown from 66,892 residents in 2020 to about 70,500 in 2024 — one of the faster-growing municipalities in the state.
Middlesex County counted 1,827 Black residents in the 1800 federal census and 1,564 of them were enslaved: more than five in six. New Jersey passed its Gradual Abolition Act four years later and freed none of them. The act applied only to children born afterwards, and only once they reached 21 if they were women or 25 if they were men. In 1846 a second act said to abolish slavery renamed those still held as "apprentices" bound to their present owners. 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 Old Bridge, 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 Old Bridge Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Old Bridge 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.
