Union City is among the most densely populated municipalities in the United States: roughly 66,900 people living on 1.29 square miles of land, about 52,000 to the square mile. Nowhere in New Jersey are more lives packed more closely together.
None of this was Hudson County until 22 February 1840. Before that it was Bergen — the county that held more enslaved people than any other in New Jersey, 2,825 of them in the 1800 census, 18.6% of everyone living there. The state then took until 1865 to finish letting go, and only after the Legislature had voted the Thirteenth Amendment down once. The 1804 act freed nobody living; the 1846 act renamed the remaining enslaved as "apprentices" bound to their owners.
Hudson County did not exist until 22 February 1840. Everything in it — Jersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, Union City, North Bergen, West New York — was part of Bergen County before that, and Bergen held more enslaved people than any other county in the state: 2,825 of them in the 1800 census, 18.6% of everyone living there. The county line moved. The history did not.
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 Union City, or for Hudson 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 Union City that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Union City. 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.
