Manchester, N.H.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a Republican, said former secretary of state Hillary Clinton should stop using “code words” when defending Planned Parenthood and reiterated his support for defunding the organization on a federal level. Christie responded to a video produced by Clinton’s presidential campaign in which the Democratic frontrunner directly criticizes Republicans for “assaulting” the nation’s largest abortion provider.

“When politicians talk about defunding Planned Parenthood, they’re talking about blocking millions of women, men and young people from life-saving preventive care,” Clinton says, looking into the camera. “I’m proud to stand with Planned Parenthood.”
