Three for three, Chris Christie vetoes another Planned Parenthood subsidy
They went to the mattresses. They tried and tried and tried again. And each time Chris Christie emphatically said "no". No tax dollars for Planned Parenthood. None.
Yesterday Governor Awesome vetoed the latest Planned Parenthood subsidy bill.
Gov. Chris Christie today vetoed a bill that would have expanded the Medicaid program to more women seeking family planning services, saying it would be "financially irresponsible" to spend more on a program running a $1 billion deficit.
The doomed bill, (A3273), would have directed the state to apply to the federal government to expand its Medicaid program to include women earning as much as twice the poverty rate -- $29,140 for a family of two -- to provide birth control, cervical exams and other family planning services. Abortions would not be paid with this money, sponsors said.
New Jersey cannot afford to expand Medicaid, which already serves 1.3 million people, according to Christie's veto statement. "In Fiscal year 2012, it is anticipated that the state's Medicaid program faces a budget shortfall of $1.1 billion," according to the statement. Expanding Medicaid to more people "does not make sense from an overall fiscal and health care policy perspective."
Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D-Infanticide) forgot to recalibrate her irony meter before launching into a tirade against the governor.
"On one hand he says he's not opposed to birth control, but yet he shows up at a rally last week and joins a group speaking against women being trusted to make their own decisions about their reproductive health care," said Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D-Union) a bill sponsor. "He has also said that this issue is purely about money we don't have, but all this bill would have done is leveraged the money already being spent in our Medicaid budget to obtain additional federal dollars to expand access to health care services for low-income women."
"Women being trusted to make their own decisions?" You mean like the women who found their way to the offices of Dr. Kermit Gosnell? The ones he strapped down to forcibly vacuum the life from their wombs? How about 14 year old girls being coerced into "family planning services" by their pimps? Or, perhaps you intend these funds to replenish the supply of dirty forceps and rusty crochet hooks employed by Metropolitan Medical Associates of Englewood in their butchery? (Don't click that link unless you have a strong stomach.) How much ad time for LateTermAbortions.Net can $1.1 million buy anyway?
Thank God that Chris Christie vetoed their funding. The ugly truth behind the Abortion Industrial Complex is too sickening to comprehend. Every day Pundette posts about a new level of depredation. It's gotta be hard for her to do, just reading her posts leaves an ache in my soul. These are the stories that the purveyors of "choice" don't want you to read.
But read them you must. And then ask yourself this — why was there so
much righteous indignation over what Michael Vick did to a couple of dogs while
the horror of abortion continually flies under the radar? What does that say
about the priorities of our society? Shouldn't a baby have at least as much
right to life as a puppy?
