Part of Gov. Chris Christie’s belt-tightening plan for New Jersey was the termination of $7.5 million in public funding for Planned Parenthood clinics in the state, a decision Democrats in the legislature countermanded with a bill that cleared the Senate with a 30-10 vote — sufficient to override a veto. But when that veto came and the Democrats scheduled an override vote, Republicans in the legislature backed down, and the measure failed 23-17.

They should never have received public funds to begin with.

One down and more to do!
“PP-SNJ stands to lose as much as $160,000 in taxpayer funds because of Christie’s decision and the upholding of his veto. With the closing of the Cherry Hill center, Planned Parenthood customers seeking abortions or other “services” must go to PP centers in Camden, Bellmawr, and Edgewater Park.”
I don’t want my tax dollars used to murder babies.

Awesome ... The veto pen is mightier than the sword. Gov. Christie has surely saved many innocent lives by this action.

I’d be thrilled if my governor SPENT $7.5 million in tax dollars to shut down a Planned Parenthood abortion factory. Christie managaes to save the NJ taxpayers that money while doing it.
Praise God!

Republicans in the legislature backed down,
Wonderful. Replace them with people who WANT to do it, not do it grudgingly.

Christie is NOT as conservative as this action would suggest. I’m pretty sure that the reason for the veto had more to do with belt tightening than the abortion issue. Nonetheless nobody can make the claim that Christie does not “walk the walk”. He’s gutsy as hell. NJ is lucky to have him.

Amen!
