This case is not about a woman's right to choose whether and when to bear children but, rather, about whether the State must subsidize that choice, and plaintiffs' claim that the family-cap provision of The Work First New Jersey Act (WFNJ) violates the equal protection and due process guarantees of the New Jersey Constitution is rejected; the DHS has presented ample justification for providing welfare families with additional Medicaid and food-stamp benefits but not more cash for additional children ? re
