(Life News) — Governor Chris Christie has again vetoed state taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Christie has delighted pro-life advocates again by deleting the millions in funding from the state budget.
The New Jersey Senate passed a measure to restore the $7.5 million in funding 26-13 with all of the Senate Democrats voting to restore the Planned Parenthood funds along with Republicans Diane Allen and Jennifer Beck. Pro-life advocates called on him to rescind the funding again, after two of the abortion business’ centers closed last year following the first veto of the funding.
New Jersey Right to Life president Marie Tasy told LifeNews she is very happy with Christie’s decision.
“We applaud Governor Christie for once again standing up for the integrity of New Jersey taxpayers and against the political maneuverings of those who use women’s health as an excuse to further a misguided ideological agenda,” she said. “Given the growing laundry list of Planned Parenthood’s misdeeds, it is unfathomable that anyone who truly cares about women’s health and their well being would continue to push funding of these clinics.
