Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) hit back Sunday at Kansas voters who rejected an amendment that would have removed language in the state constitution guaranteeing the right to an abortion.
Christie argued that the Kansas vote showed that Democrats’ “manufactured hysteria” over the Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that the Constitution does not include the right to abortion was “suppressed”.
“I think this is going to happen all over the country, George,” Christie told host George Stephanopoulos. “People like me have been saying for decades that states should make these calls, and states will now make these calls. And I think that’s why everyone who says well, that means abortion will be banned across the country when Dobbs the decision was made. You know, it’s going to change and vary from state to state, and sometimes you’ll get results that don’t seem consistent with the color of the state, which is where, in this case, Kansas, a very red state went in that direction.”
“Well, that’s why I think a lot of the manufactured hysteria that certain aspects of the Democratic Party have been in is undermined by this result in Kansas,” he added. “People will make their own decisions. Legislatures will decide. Indiana did something very, very different. That’s how it’s going to work across the country.”
