New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has taken a second step in his bid to cut state taxpayer funding of the Planned Parenthood abortion business. He first proposed a state budget that cuts the funding and now he has eliminated a federal waiver that was used before his election to give it more. Marie Tasy of New Jersey Right to Life is delighted by the decision. “Governor Christie recently put a halt to another funding boondoggle scheme for Planned Parenthood that was pushed through in the waning days of the Corzine administration,” she told LifeNews.com. “The state has rescinded an application to apply for a federal waiver to reimburse Planned Parenthood 90% for Medicaid services. This was Corzine’s parting gift to Planned Parenthood,” Tasy said. Tasy points to a Planned Parenthood representative who said the elimination of the funding would potentially force the abortion business to close five of its centers.
