Get rid of these giant consolodated spending bills at the Fed level and a lot of the crazy spending goes away.
WOW! Thanks very much for posting.
Denigrate, defund, dismantle, destroy anti-life TOTALITARIANS and their collectivist programs.
LIFE, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
HOORAY Governor Christie!!!
It is interesting that Planned Parenthood cannot exist in N.J. without taxpayer support.
These pro-aborts are all talk and no support. If it’s so important to them why won’t they open their own pocket books and pay for it.
They compound the evil by using the threat of government violence to FORCE the rest of us to pay for it.
(1) While many clowns claim that he supported the mosuqe, he emphatically did not. He said the people whose opinions should be consulted on it are not New Jersey politicians but the families of the victims. How that possibly means an endorsement of the mosque is beyond me.
(2) He endorsed Castle because Castle was a lock in a general election. Looking at the current poll numbers in DE (Tea Party candidates are surging everywhere but there, probably because it is more of a Democrat state than New York is) his instinct was correct.
Christie a moderate-to-conservative pragmatist. He is paving the way to better things.
Not another Christie Todd Whitman so far . . . .
Great observation. Reagan understood that best of all I think.
When I hear GOPers talking about waving the white flag on social issues it makes me want to barf.
Maybe Christie isn’t Jesse Helms, but he *is* pro-life. I’m sure he enjoyed this veto more than most.
And then both them and the provider should spend time in prison for murder.
But so long as this immoral society is going to allow infanticide, it certainly should NEVER EVER be paid for by taxpayer dollars. PERIOD. NEVER!
But so long as people in power (think President Obama who specifically said that he would not want to burden his daughter with the punishment of carrying a baby if she got pregnant) are all fine and dandy with infanticide - nothing will change.
You are right. They should be praised. I’m too cynical.
Could be but I’m not sure I care at all. God works in mysterious ways.
This is one of my favorite recent poltical stories.
You nailed it to a tee....
Outstanding!
Oh, please, all those thousands and thousands of women who want to control THEIR OWN BODIES will now have to go back to the alleys and look for coat hangers!! It’s just wrong!!!

During the election season, he stated that he was pro-life but that he knew that he could not use his position as governor to overturn it. He stated that he supported the ban on partial-birth abortion, that he was opposed to any public funding of abortion and supported full parental notification and a required waiting period.
The most recent Republican governors of NJ - Whitman and Kean - were total pro-aborts whose only caveat was public funding, which neither of them ever did a thing about.
Was the Catholic vote much of a factor?
It definitely was in Monmouth County. Our parish's RTL group was out in force and we were not alone.
Exactly! Why on earth were they? I would be very unhappy to know my taxes were being used in this way.
So 7 RINOs in the NJ Senate voted to continue public funding of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics despite not having enough money to even pay the teachers?
See folks, isn’t it beautiful when fiscal and social conservatism work together?
Huzzah. Smaller government AND innocents saved from death.
A win-win.
Not a conservative, they say?
In terms of cutting spending on things that government should not be funding at all with tax dollars in the first place, this action is a conservative action. "Conservative" actually has much more to do with limiting size, scope, and power of government than it has to do with the abortion issue.
