Chris Christie pushes ‘pro-life’ reforms

[Spin]

Interesting twist on the "pro-life" stance. Rand Paul came out with similar comments regarding non violent drug abuse and now Christie does it plus ties in education. While it's obvious Christie is trying to appeal to different people with his view, I think he makes a good point. If you're going to be all about pro life then that should extend well past just being born.

I'm curious how this will go over with the conservative faction of the Republicans. Christie has lost some of his buzz since "bridgegate", but he seems like he's really going to push on until the finish line.

“I believe if you’re pro-life, as I am, you need to be pro-life for the whole life,” Christie said. “You can’t just afford to be pro-life when a human being is in the womb. You have to be pro-life after … Sometimes being pro-life is messy, sometimes it’s difficult. Because human beings make bad choices, we are flawed. And I doubt that there’s one person in this audience who hasn’t made a bad choice, or a bad decision in your life.”

He urged that such an approach apply to improving the education system and seeking better ways to rehabilitate non-violent drug offenders, arguing that the “war on drugs” hasn’t worked.
