Woodbridge is the seventh largest municipality in New Jersey, a township of nearly forty distinct neighbourhoods in the north of Middlesex County.
Middlesex was among the heaviest slaveholding counties in the state. In 1800 it counted 1,827 Black residents, 1,564 of them enslaved. New Jersey then took sixty years to let go: gradual abolition in 1804 that freed no living person, a second act in 1846 that renamed the enslaved as "apprentices" bound for life to their owners, eighteen people still held in 1860, and a legislature that rejected the Thirteenth Amendment in March 1865 before ratifying it in January 1866 — after it was already law. Every one of those delays was argued for as the realistic step.
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 Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Woodbridge 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.
Woodbridge is in Legislative District 19, which elects one senator and two assembly members. All three are listed on this page.
