In Solidarity with Our Neighbors in the Garden State....

Many in our 8th Congressional District are unaware that the nation's leading abortion provider goes by the name, "Planned Parenthood." One of Planned Parenthood's New Jersey abortuaries is even within walking distance of the 8th Congressional District. In neighboring Trenton, Planned Parenthood is even aggressively marketing an expansion of its "traditional" menu of abortion & contraception services. And what they call "contraception" is many times actually abortifacient.
As New Jersey Right to Life explained on July 23rd of this year:

• "For far too long and without voter approval, NJ taxpayers were forced to fund Planned Parenthood in the state budget under family planning services. In Governor Christie's FY 11 budget, he proposed completely eliminating $7.5M in funding to Planned Parenthood/family planning clinics. A group of pro-abortion lawmakers endorsed by Planned Parenthood's Political Action Committee, pushed a supplemental bill through the legislature in June which would have restored $7.5M to these centers. By vetoing the bill, Governor Christie freed NJ taxpayers from complicity with the nation's largest abortion provider."

At this time, New Jersey Right to Life is asking for immediate contacts to senators and assembly members, urging them to NOT override Governor Christie's veto of S2139.

As many Pennsylvanians go to Mass in Jersey and vice versa, please share this urgent message from your pulpits.
