'Transformation': Perry now opposes all abortion, even in rape or incest cases

OSCEOLA, Iowa -- In what the Texas governor calls a  "transformation," Rick Perry on Tuesday said that he has reversed his acceptance of abortion in some severe circumstances, saying that he now opposes the procedure even in cases of rape and incest.

Perry said the change came after seeing the "Gift of Life" film produced by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. He told an audience of Iowans at Clark Electric Co-op in Osceola that he was moved by the story of a woman who introduced the film during a screening earlier this month in Des Moines.

"She said, 'I am the product of rape.' And she said 'my life has worth,'" Perry said of his exchange with the woman. "It was a powerful moment."

The Texas governor made the statement in response to a question from Joshua Verwers, a pastor at Full Faith Christian Center in Chariton, who noted that Perry had recently signed a stringent Personhood USA pledge that urges signatories to oppose abortion "without exception and without compromise."

6. Perry has a Brain???

3. I am not a baby machine that some man can come and rape just to reproduce.

How about personhood for women?

I am not my uterus. I have a right to determine what happens to my own body. Including the right, if I so choose, to give birth to a child if I was impregnated from rape. It's a beautiful choice and I'd never judge someone for making it. But I have the right to choose the other way as well.

Otherwise, you are telling me that I am less than a full human being.

on death row, liberals, union members, the uninsured, middle class, etc. Their's are worthless. right?
