Gov. Chris Christie Vetoes Planned Parenthood Funding After Release of ACORN-Style Hidden-Camera Exposes
About those videos, first of all. In a sting similar to the ACORN sting, a "pimp" breezes into Planned Parenthood offices seeking abortions for his 13 and 14 year old child-sex-slaves and is given advice about how to avoid all the hassle and red-tape of reporting rape and child prostitution.
(Notice: The left is all in favor of getting rid of jobs-killing regulation and red tape in the appropriate sanctioned industries.)
"Deceptively edited" is the claim as was the last time, of course, because they've got nothing else besides the You Gonna Believe Me Or Your Own Lying Eyes? gambit.
Enter the Big Man from New Jersey, like an Italian Clarence Clemmons.
Following the release of a video that has received nationwide attention showing Planned Parenthood staff at a New Jersey abortion center helping alleged sexual traffickers cover up their crimes with abortions and STD testing, Governor Chris Christie has vetoed a bill funding Planned Parenthood.
One thing: While BigGovernment says this occurred after those videos, and that is true, chronologically, the implication is that the videos caused the veto on funding.
In fact, that's not established -- maybe, maybe not. Christie already vetoed the funding for Planned Parenthood a while back; he re-vetoed it, as the legislature just sent him a bill restoring the funding.
The videos might have played a role or they might not have. Certainly they couldn't have helped Planned Parenthood's cause.
Thanks to Dagny.
