Questions and Answers from the Catholic Bishops of ew Jersey

Marriage as a Union of One Man and One Woman January 17, 2012
Would maintaining the definition of marriage as a union solely of one man and one woman deny hospital visitation privileges to civil union partners? Would defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman take away any benefits currently provided to civil union partners by employers? No. In New Jersey, the civil Union Act already provides practical rights, benefits, and protections for persons who choose to establish non-marital unions. As clearly stated in the Act: Civil union couples shall have all of the same benefits, protections and responsibilities under law, whether they derive from statute, administrative or court rule, public policy, common law or any other source of civil law, as are granted to spouses in marriage. [ .J. Statutes 37:11-31(a)] The Act also provides that civil union couples are entitled to the benefits and protections of laws relating to insurance, health and pension benefits. [N.J. statutes 37:1-32(e)] In addition, the Act prohibits an array of unlawful employment practices by employers who do not fully implement the Act. The Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Act, signed into law by Governor Christie, in December 2011 guarantees by law that all adult patients have the right to designate a representative of their choice with the power to convey specifically how the patient would like to by treated including in the event the patient loses the capacity to express their preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments. The POLST Act even allows for a patient to authorize the patients representative to revoke or modify the patients decisions if the patient loses decision-making capacity. Further, many organizations have approved Advanced Directives for Health Care that allow individuals to designate anyone they wish as a health care decision maker. In short, there is no evidence for the claims that in New Jersey same sex couples are not able to assist in making health care decisions together with or for each other. That right is guaranteed by law.
