“The two leading pro-life groups in Texas give Perry unqualified praise for his support for the sanctity of life, and he made a point of publicly celebrating Texas’ marriage amendment by holding a signing ceremony with pro-family leaders. He initiated a nationwide call to prayer, “The Response,” well before he even began thinking about a run for the White House. His bonafides on life, marriage and faith are beyond question.”
I have lots of questions on these. Forcing children to take an unproven vaccine, or to force the families to go through hoops every couple years to keep control of a decision that should be made by the family, does not fit life, marriage(family), or faith. Endorsing Rudy Giuliani for President also does not meet up with any reasonable standards for faith or family.
I suppose attending a gay rights banquet in 2000 without his wife is also perfectly reasonable for a family values man? Then again, he owned a stake in the largest porn distributor in Texas, The Movie Gallery. I suppose our idea of family values are quite disparate.
Perry has put the pen to legislation to defund Planned Parenthood with the result that some Planned Parenthoods have already closed.
