Fat Jesus Overruled by New Jersey Senate

I doubt he'll sign the legislation, but the New Jersey state senate voted to restore family planning funding that Chris Christie cut from the budget.

The state Senate has passed a bill to restore $7.45 million in funding for family planning centers that Gov. Chris Christie cut last year. [...]

In addition to restoring the $7.45 million, the legislation that passed today would require the state to earmark $1 million of its Medicaid funds to get a federal match of $9 million for family planning services for women with incomes of up to twice the poverty level.

Score one against the Republican war against women.
