It is no secret that Governor Murphy has a grotesque obsession with abortion. Through both his words and his actions, he made it abundantly clear during his eight years as Governor of New Jersey that he harbors a depraved fixation on the killing of innocent children. To Murphy, there is no abortion too gruesome and no gestational limit that goes too far, and by his most recent action, that moral indifference now extends even to children who have already been born.
So, it should surprise no one that, in one of his final acts before leaving office, the former Governor chose to grant clemency to Maria Dolores Montalvo, a Union Beach woman convicted of burning her two young children alive.
Montalvo was convicted in 1996 of murder, felony murder, and arson for killing her 18-month-old daughter, Zoraida-Angelin Aponte, and her 28-month-old son, Rafael-Louis Aponte. On February 22, 1994, she doused the children with gasoline inside their car and set it on fire in Long Branch.
She had been serving a 100-year prison sentence, with parole ineligibility until 2054. Murphy’s act of clemency, however, made her immediately eligible to apply for parole. Given the unspeakable brutality of the crime, the decision has drawn widespread condemnation from prosecutors, lawmakers, and members of the public.
Given Governor Murphy’s well-documented abortion fanaticism, this decision fits a well-recognized, though deeply disturbing, pattern. Mercy was granted to a convicted murderer, while none was shown to the innocent children who suffered and died.
We can imagine those little children crying out in terror and unspeakable pain as their lives were cruelly taken, a reality that should haunt the conscience of every decent person. And yet, in New Jersey and across the nation, countless other children just as innocent and just as vulnerable are killed through abortion, often without cries we can hear and without the same public outrage. The silence surrounding their torment and deaths does not make them any less real, nor does it lessen the moral weight of what is being done to them.
Still, there is hope. The growing pro-life movement refuses to look away from the suffering of born children or the silent deaths of the unborn. By defending the dignity of every human life, we honor children like Zoraida and Rafael and work toward a future where no child is disposable, no violence is excused, and compassion always chooses life.
Although Governor Murphy has demonstrated a troubling zealotry for ending the lives of the innocent, it is heartening to see that many others reject his views and continue to defend the value of human life.
We are certainly not sorry to see him go.

Follower of Moloch.
Wouldn’t want to be him on Judgement Day.
Her next assignment: Go to Minneapolis and show ICE how she feels about them.
In the last days, evil will magnify itself.




Just wow! Play with fire, get burned.
Photos, News clippings including first hand account.
Tried to find reason WHY he went out of his way to grant clemency (”commutation of sentence.”)
“According to a statement from her lawyer, the decision considered her “sustained rehabilitative and educational efforts while in prison” and her work supporting other inmates.
The governor’s office stated the decision was based on a “thorough and careful review process” that considered the full context of her case, her 30-year incarceration, and input from various parties.”
This is the same party that claims to care so much ABOUT THE CHILDREN..they are frauds, EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM
Nice going Phil, you rat.
A late abortion. Procrastination isn’t a crime.
Commutations are a form of clemency. Some clemencies are not commutations.
The article says that she still has to go to the parole board to be released.
On December 24, 2025, New Jersey Governor DEMOCRAT Phil Murphy announced the allocation of $22.325 million in funding for “reproductive health services” which includes the DELIBERATE ABORTION of viable human beings
DemocRats like burning children alive. See my tagline: what do DemocRats like more than a truckload of dead babies? Unloading them with a pitchfork.
Now
“Wouldn’t want to be him on Judgement Day.”
There is only one unpardonable sin.
Had she not done this she would probably be a Grandmother by now.
Sorry if faulty information.
I was going by the information in my source while looking for the reason Phil Murphy thought getting her out of prison was a justifiable idea.
But any technical wording for letting her out after she let the children feel agony as the heat increased and they were trapped doesn’t matter as much as her getting out. Apparently the self-immolating Buddhists in Vietnam and others feel intense pain before the body lets them die.
Tragic for those kids.
Just another very late-term abortion ... nothing to see here ... move along ...
The democRAT Party is a death-cult.
