Chris Christie vetoes state funding for Planned Parenthood – again

Chris Christie vetoes state funding for Planned Parenthood – again | LifeSiteNews.com: New Jersey’s pro-life governor Chris Christie has once again vetoed an attempt by the state legislature to restore $7.5 million dollars in state family planning funds that could be used by abortion provider Planned Parenthood.

Christie on Thursday vetoed more than $1.3 billion in extra spending demanded by the Democrat-controlled legislature for FY 2012, including the state family planning expenditures the governor vetoed the year before. Democrats lacked the two-thirds majorities they need in both chambers of the legislature for an override, so Christie’s veto will stand.
