Plutocrat and former third party presidential candidate Ross Perot donated $1 million to Planned Parenthood of Texas, to help fill the gap left by the state’s defunding of the Women’s Health Program.
“For nearly 100 years Planned Parenthood has helped to educate men and women regarding family planning and general family health,” said Margot Perot, speaking for the Perot Foundation of Dallas. “Our family has supported this nonprofit for many years because we are impressed with the work they do—providing birth control; scientifically based education; breast health exams; and basic, life-saving healthcare for women who cannot afford services otherwise.”
In 2012, Texas passed a law denying funds from the Woman’s Health Program, a Medicaid program that services many underprivileged women in the state, to clinics that provide abortions. But while the Hyde Amendment already prohibits government money from being used for abortions, federal law also does not allow states to refuse money to clinics that perform the service. When Texas Governor Rick Perry refused to back down on the issue, the federal government yanked its (massive) share of the funding to the WHP, stopping an estimated $40 million to women’s health clinics in the state.

CANDIDATE ROSS PEROT—My personal position on abortion is well-known, but I will restate it just to make sure there’s no confusion:
“I support a woman’s right to have an abortion. It is the woman’s choice.”
“I support federal funding of abortions for poor women. Since these women have already made the decision, for public health reasons, we should ensure that the procedure is done safely.”
You can be sure a felony was committed.
Maybe old Ross can fly to Iran and save Obama’s behind.
Not surprising. His wife was a big supporter and board member in Texas for years. I think she also did fundraising for them.
Perot can donate to the Ted Cruz campaign to defund DeathCare.
Call 800-713-4116 to vote to defund DeathCare.
“without Perot Clinton would never have been pres.”
That is absolutely correct! I remember seeing Perot swirling his wife around the dance floor the night he LOST his bid to be president.
He was grinning from ear to ear, the happiest LOSER I have ever seen. The plan worked......... Bush lost!
Didn’t know this vile pile of bovine excrement was a baby killer (yes I am thejustavenger)
“....to wish those who promote abortion could suffer the same fate they promote those infants via a woodchipper.”
Probably too quick to give them what they deserve. It might be OK if you run them through the chipper feet first. OTOH.....when they get to hell they’ll have ETERNITY to pay for their barbarity!
"Racist" is such an ugly word. I prefer "Pro-White" or "Anti-Thug" or "Pro-Family-Values". There are just so many words and phrases that make good substitutes to the Left's myriad versions of what constitutes racism.
That is some Christian attitude you have there...
