Rick Perry: Banning Abortion Is 'My Goal'

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) urged state lawmakers Tuesday to pass more restrictions on abortion, and proclaimed that his end goal is to outlaw the procedure entirely.

"To be clear, my goal, and the goal of many of those joining me here today, is to make abortion, at any stage, a thing of the past," Perry said at a press conference organized by Texas Right to Life. "While Roe v. Wade prevents us from taking that step, it does allow states to do some things to protect life if they can show there is a compelling state interest. I don’t think there is any issue that better fits the definition of 'compelling state interest' than preventing the suffering of our state’s unborn."

1. What an idiot. n/t

Rick Perry: "There's three abortion providers I would like to get rid of. Planned Parenthood, and uh....................................................................

[BlueJazz]

2. OK,that's it. It's time we took up a collection and send Rick Perry on a slow ship into a black hole

This guy and his Texas pig-fucking constituency need to take a break from La-La land.

[wordpix]

21. These repukes are all for government off our backs and onto women's private parts

Not a pretty picture to have Rick Perry there

[sakabatou]

3. Perry cares more about pre-born than people are already born

[randomtagger]

4. Exactly

Once they're born, our work is done.

[Zoeisright]

16. He doesn't care about the fetus either. No repuke does.

That's why they cut funding for prenatal research and prenatal care.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. It is all about...

keeping women in their "place"

[They_Live]

5. If an organism is not yet self aware

can it suffer?

Audit Perry. Indict Perry. Prosecute and Jail Perry.

[MsPithy]

12. "... an organism is not yet self aware..."

I thought you meant Perry. HA!

But seriously, not only is a blastosyst not self aware, which requires a brain, there are no pain receptors.

[muntrv]

6. Ah more pro-fetus douchebaggery!

[Mr.Bill]

7. Rick Perry's first goal

should be to not show up drunk next time he is involved in a debate.

[Panasonic]

8. How about if we cut off your head?

You can ban abortion wherever the fuck you like after your head is removed.

[Third Doctor]

9. Okay this person who is

supposedly so bent on saving lives beats his chest about how many people he has executed at the same time? These nutty repugs don't give a damn about actual living breathing people so this makes up for it?

[onehandle]

10. BFD. nt

[2ndAmForComputers]

35. Please elaborate.

[onehandle]

37. I meant that as what I think about any 'goal' of his.

Not that it's not a distressing goal.

Sorry 'bout that.

[jmowreader]

11. Getting a decent candidate to run against this moran should be OUR goal

And this is the guy: Farouk Shami, hairdresser, innovator, self-made billionaire.

14. Another billionaire? Not a good idea.

Plus, that guy is a nut. He said whites were lazy and he said that the government could have masterminded 9/11?

[Piazza Riforma]

13. Very rich coming from the state that has a steamy love affair with capital punishment.

Never fails to amaze me how many in the "right to life" crowd enthusiastically support capital punishment.

[jsr]

18. How can you kill if you don't have anybody to kill?

Got to make them procreate so you can kill them.

[Zoeisright]

15. Fuck off, Perry.

Take your warped little mind elsewhere, you dimwit

[MsPithy]

17. Hey. Go for it.

Americans will never elect national candidates who would force women and GIRLS to bear the rapist's progeny.

[awoke_in_2003]

24. You have more faith in Americans than I. nt

[sarcasmo]

19. They never learn.

[wordpix]

20. I would think Gov. Dimrick has something better to do, like immigration reform, for one

No, he keeps sticking his "govmint-off-my-back" nose into women's private parts, instead

[ricardA]

23. We need peace and a working society

and a fair economic system. That will yield respect across the board. Why is that hard to undrestand?

[cosmicone]

25. I support Rick Perry

and I'm also pro-choice.

The reason I support him is that this clown will force other reasonable candidates far to the right and make the general election unwinnable for repukes.

The crazier and more away from American people the clown car, the better.

[grantcart]

29. Yep he just set the Iowa caucus to full bat shit crazy

He couldn't win before so now he trippled down on batshit crazy.

Go Rick go.

[kestrel91316]

27. Well, if he had any presidential aspirations,

he just guaranteed they will come to naught.

So it's all good.

[Bette]

28. Women of texas..

Time to remove yourselves from this hell-hole of a state! Not only do they want to take away your health care rights, they want to secede from this country. I say, bye-bye!! See what's left after that, when you will need visa's to live here and work here, and you will be illegal immigrants...And Perry will be on the sidelines...praying....

[zellie]

30. How much do I detest that slimy bastard.

For him I believe in retroactive abortion.

[truthisfreedom]

31. Rick Perry: Pronouncing myself disinterested in women is my goal...

Seems apropo.

[alp227]

32. Ban Rick Perry. N/t

[BlueManFan]

33. That's My Governor

and I throw up in my mouth a little bit every time he opens his. What a clown!!!!!

[LeftInTX]

38. I wish Texas had term limits

This guy is turning into a dictator

[duhneece]

34. "I don't trust women & neither should you" is the message I'm hearing

They don't trust women to make decisions for their own lives, their own bodies; I do. I'm getting good feedback by using that theme, that of trusting women vs not trusting them.

[ricardA]

36. the value of trust

Do you care to trace back to the possible roots of the mistrust? it will possibly end among religous beliefs of a time when the power became dependent on religion for dominance. So religions seem to be changing the context for that, because they finally realized the problem. That's why I support funding for them to sit at a table and discussed their differences and validity of the strategies used to spread the religous message. Then many problems derived from that will self-correct.

But the funding must come from those with lots of extra wealth, most of us have no money, inspite of lots of work, productivity, generosity, and good deeds.

women must get into the field of economics, learn it well as oppossed to just getting a degree that says so, and from that basic stone raise the claims of social equality, human rights, etc.

Mutual respect is one of the few important things to keep constant in the social discussions, and work on behalf of making clear the bad consequences of erasing it from the human population mind.

39. You just keep thinking, Butch. That's what you're good at.

[smirkymonkey]

40. Can we abort Rick Perry or is it too late?

How can you be so "pro-life" and at the same time be so "pro-death penatly". It just doesn't make sense.

Apparently, he doesn't seem to see the contradiction in his viewpoints
