Kudos to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on veto of Planned Parenthood bill

NJ Gov Chris Christie and me just prior to win!

Although I have a few political differences with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, like Diva Daria said of Senator Mitch McConnell, I also believe in giving credit where it’s due. From Life News.Com:

Following the release of a video that has received nationwide attention showing Planned Parenthood staff at a New Jersey abortion center helping alleged sexual traffickers cover up their crimes with abortions and STD testing, Governor Chris Christie has vetoed a bill funding Planned Parenthood.

Marie Tasy, Executive Director for New Jersey Right to Life, applauded the veto in an email to LifeNews.com.

“We thank Governor Christie for vetoing this bill.  A3273/S2393 would have forced taxpayers to support the activities and expansion of an organization that was caught on tape aiding and abetting in the sex trafficking and abortions of minors as young as 14.   In vetoing this bill, Governor Christie has ensured that NJ taxpayers will not be complicit in the sexual abuse and exploitation of poor women and minors under the pretense of ‘women’s health,’” she said.

Head over to Life News to read the whole report.

Thank you Governor Christie for doing the right thing — not only by taxpayers but by vulnerable, underage teenage girls. As the mom of an almost ten year-old, I am sickened by Planned Parenthood’s callous disregard for these young women and I pray that this is the beginning of a welcome trend.
