Gov. Rick Perry: ‘We’re going to pass’ abortion restrictions in Texas

[BlueToTheBone]

Source: Washington Times

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Sunday that state Sen. Wendy Davis’ attention-getting filibuster notwithstanding, the Legislature is going to approve restrictions on abortion when it gavels in another special session this week.

“We’re going to pass some restrictions on abortion,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Texas is a place where we defend life. I mean, that’s the powerful message here and that’s what we’re focused on and politics will take care of itself.”

“People have relayed to me that never in the history of Texas [have] they seen that type of mob rule come in and discombobulate a legislative session,” he continued.

I know the WT is a shitty source, but I thought it should be noted. He's is so pro-life that he killed the 500th person in Texas.

1. "Defend life". Except for those already born.

Perry is against every single thing that might help the poor and middle class. "Mob rule" to Perry: The will of the people.

[BlueToTheBone]

4. He's amazing with his spin.

It does seem that the unborn are certainly more important to these people than the born.

I am in Arkansas and we don't have a Wendy Davis, so there is little or no dissent.

[L0oniX]

18. His "discombobulation" is effective.

Had to laugh at his use of the word discombobulate.

2. “Texas is a place where we defend life."

That's why we're number one in executions!


GOD THIS MAN IS A FUCKING IDIOT. He makes Bush look good.

[StevePaulson]

10. Ricky McOops Makes The Shrub

Look like a rocket scientist.

Scary.....

[They_Live]

3. right to miserable, impoverished life with no health care,

under tyrannical rule before the state can determine to end your "precious" life.

Hypocrites.

I hope people are waking up now.

[Thinkingabout]

5. Exactly, good ol' Rick, refuses to set up exchanges in Texas, Texas has the most uninsured in the

nation and he wants to talk about how important life is. He might be able to pass this among his TP friends and the GOP but he is not fooling the Democrats. It is more about being the war on women, taking away rights and being the radical Taliban in Texas.

[SpankMe]

6. Dem leaders need to kick up their resolve a notch or two...

I'd like to see a Democratic governor say "We are going to pass gun restrictions in {insert state name here}" with the same conviction, authority and obsessive resolve that Republicans display in their movement to eliminate legal abortion.

Republicans have no problem openly stating their goals - even when those goals are in opposition to the majority, or are otherwise "whacked". And, they're STILL winning elections, or are barely losing them owing only to late-breaking scandals.

Take almost any statement that a Republican makes about regulating and eliminating abortion and substitute the word "gun" for "abortion". That's what we (progressives) should be doing. Even if we lose a few elections, we should keep on hammering on it until the public gradually starts turning. That's what Republicans are doing - and it's working for them.

[Politicalboi]

26. That would be nice

But the gun nuts are more unhinged than the anti-choice crowd.

[StevePaulson]

7. Mob Rule ~vs~ Billionaire Rule

Which would you prefer Ricky McOops?

Thought so....

I just can't wait till you, and your Republican scumbag friends are retired to the dustbin of history.

There are only so many fossilized Republican voters, and they are dying like flies.

The days of America's Republican Reign of Terror are almost at an end.

Thank God.

I mean the real god, not Mammon, your god.

Republicans Are A Disease

[StevePaulson]

8. Texas - What a Place

I heard of a poll of Texans where over 50% said they thought that the earth was only 6,000 years old.

I understand your only goal in life Ricky McOops is impress these brainwashed zombies, but there are those of us who prefer to live in the real world. You know, with science and stuff.

Oh by the way Ricky, I have news for you.

Women count.

[jessie04]

9. I try not to hate

but I really hate that guy.

[Larkspur]

11. Perry's Texas: the Saudia Arabia of white male conservatives or

is it just of fetus fetishers?

[Flashmann]

12. "Texas is a place where we defend life."

Yeah...The recent 500th state sanctioned murder proves it!

[Iliyah]

13. These are the "Flat Earth" believers

With the US Supreme Court justices who gutted the voting rights act, they made the fight even harder.

The unborn child has more rights than the living. Where are the print newspapers and even the internet news site writings on all of the GOPer run states constant pounding on their constituents rights?

One sided - thats it.

[Jack Rabbit]

14. "Texas is a place where we defend life."

Is this the same Governor Perry who executed an innocent man?

[Skittles]

33. yes

and I can guarantee you it does not bother him at ALL

[Initech]

15. George Carlin was right - if you're pre born you're fine, if you're pre school you're fucked!

[midnight]

16. I hope Texas will defend the lives of the poor, the elderly, and the homeless.

[Sand Wind]

17. What's the pool said about this topic in Texas ?

[L0oniX]

19. This man is evil!

[eggplant]

20. Perry loves cells.

Just the fertilized kind.
Not their containers.
Nor people in them.

Seems an oddly specific fetish.

[polichick]

21. Perry may be pro-controlling people, but he sure ain't pro-life.

[Politicub]

22. I don't believe in hell

but if I did, I can't help but thinking that Perry would be a demon sent from it pits to torment the lives of women.

[alp227]

23. Rick's three policy items to preserve the sanctity of life in Texas...

1. No more abortions
2. Executing murderers... that is the Texas way!
3. Uhh...err...um...er...i can't remember

yep i HAD to go there!

Also if you search rick perry on youtube the infamous "Strong" ad is the #1 result!

[alp227]

24. Video

[Botany]

30. I could feel my IQ dropping by 20 points from just listening to Perry

The man is a stone cold idiot.

[Triana]

25. "Mob Rule"

[catbyte]

27. Asshole.

That's all, pardon my French.

[MichaelMcKenna]

28. A true republican

Rick Perry is the same man who supports execution. He claims to be a religious man and a Christian yet he judges others and blocks women from having free will. What religion is this he belongs to? My religion asks that I not judge others and that I let God decided at the pearly gates who pays for sins. I don't decide, and whose to say that I am right 100% of the time myself. I will be in that line one day myself. Who are we to judge or decided. Bottom line, Rick Perry is a true republican who believes in whatever gets him on television and gets him on the cover of the morning paper.

32. WELCOME TO DU! Good luck in your congressional campaign! nt

[WestSeattle2]

29. What a clown. Most definitely not presidential material. That said, Perry makes it much easier

for Democrats running in moderate states to point to what those crazy repugs do when they're in power. The damage the idiots in Ohio, North Carolina and Texas are doing to the repug brand is priceless. I mean Democrats could never inflict that kind of damage, and yet the repug party is being done in by friendly fire.

It will be a cold day in Texas before ANY repug wins statewide office in Washington State. Simply put, it's demonstrably true that the repug party cares only about protecting billionaires and stopping abortion. That's it. They don't do anything else when they have control. Amazing. They're unfit to govern; they've proven it repeatedly at both the federal and state levels now.

[icarusxat]

37. Unfit to govern...

can anyone dispute that?

[thelordofhell]

31. The Lt. Governor was so "discombobulated" that he altered Senate records...........

So that's the excuse now.........

[Rain Mcloud]

34. Hey Rick,how many finger am i holding up?

Suck it!

[blkmusclmachine]

35. Love the fetus.

Hate the person.

[Coyotl]

36. Keep Politicians Out of Vaginas!
