Chris Christie: I Would Defund Planned Parenthood as President

Chris Christie said on July 20 that he would defund Planned Parenthood if he were US president, adding it is what he has done as New Jersey governor for the past six years. Christie’s pledge comes as Planned Parenthood comes under fire over a second undercover sting video carried out by an anti-abortion group, apparently showing an official discussing the sale of fetal tissue for medical research.

Christie said, “When I first defunded it I defunded it because … we were in a fiscal crisis. Now with these most recent revelations there’s even more reason not to fund Planned Parenthood.” Credit: Facebook/Chris Christie
