Is New Jersey Governor Chris Christie a reliable advocate for the unborn? Alex Mason of FPN says Christie’s statements and actions over the past two years cast his pro-life credentials into serious doubt.

Many pro-lifers believed Christie’s veto of Planned Parenthood funding actually hurt the abortion giant. But in reality, the clinic that closed was the only one that didn’t perform surgical abortions. The governor’s office was quick to add that the state would continue to fund abortions at the other Planned Parenthood clinics in the state.

Christie also says he allows for abortions in cases of rape, incest, and to protect the “life of the mother.” But Mason says it’s not ‘pro-life’ to believe its O.K. to destroy innocent children who are blameless for the circumstances of their conception.
