New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie delivered a message to his fellow members of the Republican Party on Thursday: being pro-life means reforming America’s drug laws and criminal sentencing procedures. Christie has long advocated for drug treatment programs as a means of reforming the country’s prison system, but Christie took a new tactic on Thursday when he framed that advocacy as a pro-life argument.
“I’m pro-life, and I believe strongly in the sanctity of life,” Christie told an audience in Jersey City on Thursday.
Addressing his fellow Republican governors, Christie said that “it’s great to be pro-life, but you need to be pro-life after they get out of the womb, too.”
“If we believe in the sanctity of life, then we need to believe in how life is precious for every moment that God gives us,” the governor continued. “If, in fact, that we believe life is precious — and I do — then the life of the drug-addicted teenager who has been arrested for the sixth time is just as precious as the life of any one of my children.”
Christie said that conservatives don’t want violent people on the street, and there is a “class of people” who deserves to be incarcerated, but there is another “class of people” who will benefit more from “help” than punishment.
“I don’t believe this is a conservative, or moderate, or liberal issue,” Christie concluded. “I don’t believe this is a Republican or Democrat issue. Because, let me tell you, I know as many drug-addicted Republicans as I know drug-addicted Democrats.”

Remember the “litmus test”?
Anyone, repeat, anyone, that equivocates, obfuscates, dissembles, avoids, plays semantics with abortion and “the right to choose” is demonic, have been and will remain demonic.
Roughly over 50% of “Fetuses”—unborn children are female; they are aborted—war on women?
This is an an abomination to God. He spoke of it.
Where we stand is either in the abomination camp or the God camp.
Period.
God will not be mocked. He will do all his pleasure, He will judge the nations.
Mock God Governor Christie. Play word games all you wish, you will not be spared in this life or the next.
Oh, I have met women who have been traumatized emotionally and physically by this murder of the unborn. They repent or they become bitter, carry any unaborted child to rallies celebrating abortion..
God is faithful to save them all. They are not lost to His grace. They will scab, heal, and live on. But the scars will remain emotionally and physically.
As we all may do, we will be forgiven in repentance in Jesus Christ; we are as far removed from our sin as East is from West, but we are human and we never forget our actions, thoughts and deeds.
Our memories are used to remind us, to comfort and guide others, to say, “me too”. The callous forms around the human heart for a reason, but the wound is still there. To teach, to warn, to give voice to the unborn.
God loves a broken heart, a heart contrite and utterly broken. Then He can heal us. If we cannot admit we are sick in need of healing, the Good Doctor cannot and will not treat us.
That’s all I have to say about that.
Shut...up...Fatso.....!
>> being pro-life means reforming America’s drug laws and criminal sentencing procedures
No it doesn’t. Being Pro-Life concerns nascent human life.
I hope that fat liberal slob has a heart attack!
