Christie Veto Shuts Down Abortion Clinics in NJ
National Review ^ | 9/23/2010 | Daniel Foster

Posted on 09/23/2010 7:17:29 AM PDT by Lakeshark

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.

NJ has waited for decades to have a good gov. and now everybody wants the guy to run for PRes or VP.

NO! Let the good folks of NJ enjoy him for a few years first.

Go sit in the waiting room of your local Planned Parenthood and I think you would be surprised. They provide many health services for women in the poorer and not so poor sections of town. While I agree taxpayers should not have to pick up the tab, the services are very much needed for society as a whole.

We have to have realistic abortion prevention in this country. Moral platitudes and religious dogma that subjugate women of different cultures and religions to unrealistic lifestyle decisions are useless.

So you’re ok with killing girls, yet against ‘subjugation’ of women?

You do know that the perform sex selection abortions specifically to target little girls?

Odd. Not being able to kill an innocent baby is “subjugation”?

Sicko.

This should be a lesson to professed conservatives everywhere: to never, never, never, EVER back down to the fascist bullies; and the fascist bullies will likely be the ones to back down.

Why couldn't we have learned this during the '60s radicalism rampant on campuses and in our communities? It would have saved this country from the ensuing debauchery we've seen.

The article says they backed down so his veto wouldn't be overridden.

I'm ecstatic that someone had the gonads to tell it like it is and slam the leftists. When conservatives take a staunch stand, they do more than just cause a single obstruction to leftist nihilists; they cause other not-so-committed, timid "conservatives" to dare to take a stand with them. It's contagious, thank God!

He’s been one heck of a leader with his ability to stand up to leftist and media criticism. I appreciate how he’s been able to thrive as a fiscal conservative in a liberal state. He’s one of the few who is capable of governing with and then communicating and forwarding a strong conservative message.

Yes, Christie is truly amazing. Perhaps he could put on a seminar for other so-called conservatives?
