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.

If Obama had a sister....
Some people make it very hard to not wish hell on them for eternity.
The DIMocRAT is a ghoul worshipper and this “woman” is a ghoul. How messed up.
Plain as day, if WE HAD SPEEDY TRIALS and death sentences, SO MANY lives would have been saved since this happened.
Does that sound crazy? Yeah, well most of my posts do until you let them sink in.
If this monster had been quickly put down, so many stupid people would have developed an animal fear of being put to death for committing murder -- that they wouldn't do it!
It's just that simple. This woman is a subhuman who is kept in line by brute fear of punishment. And that is lacking in our country.
Good to see you’re around.
People like the criminal and the judge need to be killed several times.
Murphy should have been aborted.

Yeah, don’t look now, but... that is already happening. It is ramping up to ‘something’ horrific, even moreso than what has already occurred.
Good possibility for sure.
Zhe certainly meets the criteria of very evil in my book, whiout an iota of doubt.
😁👍
Neither will be going to heaven.
“Neither will be going to heaven.”
Only God knows that.
Humans cannot make that judgement.
100% Correct.
There is an old criminal defense lawyer saying to the effect that the public can at times be understanding when a mother kills her own offspring, but not when she kills someone else’s.
No one would.
Sad but true.
Correct.
I am surprised she survived 30 years in prison unless she was not in the general population, but isolated. Women in prison with children on the outside really hate women like her. They would kill her if given opportunity. On rare occasions, “prison justice is justice.”
How long, O Lord, must we suffer these demons among us?
I totally agree! Granted, there’s a miniscule chance he COULD sincerely repent — but somehow, I just can’t foresee that happening. Not with someone as deeply entrenched in the darkness as this dude is.
