Cowardly King Christie Vetoes Women's Health Funding Restoration

Statement of NJDSC Chairman John Wisniewski on Governor Christie's veto of the Women's Health Funding Restoration Bill:

" Today, on a late Friday, summer afternoon, Coward King Christie let down the women of New Jersey to further appeal to his national right wing base by vetoing the Women's Health Funding restoration bill. This bill passed with bi-partisan support in both Houses.

During the campaign Christie was shocked and outraged that his commitment to women's health was being questioned, calling Democrats charges 'deceitful'. The only deceitful thing about the issue was Chris Christie using his wife and mother in a campaign commercial to refute the charges and con New Jersey voters into thinking that he cared about women's health.

Signing this veto on a late Friday, summer afternoon may be designed to lessen the media coverage of this shameful act, but we will not forget the immediate danger he has put women's health in around the state. Working with my many legislative colleagues who sponsored this bill, we will do everything in our power to override his veto."
