Governor Rick Perry, who just last month signed a mandatory sonogram bill for mothers considering abortion, seems to be taking the gloves off a bit and is publicly whooping up on President Obama on the issue of abortion. I, for one, am glad to see it.
The Blaze reports:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has been mentioned as a potential Republican presidential candidate, is accusing the Obama administration of transforming abortion into a U.S. export and breaking faith with the nation’s founding principles by supporting taxpayer-funded embryonic stem cell research.
Perry, a prominent conservative long at odds with President Barack Obama’s stand on reproductive rights and stem cell research, spoke Sunday to a mostly Hispanic crowd of about 5,000 at a Los Angeles anti-abortion rally.
Perry said the direction of stem cell research under the Obama administration was “turning the remains of unborn children into nothing more than raw material.”
He’s absolutely right. We actively export abortion like it’s Coca-freakin’-cola.
Look, I’m not saying the guy’s perfect. I’ve heard plenty o’ things about him that trouble me but if his commitment to life is good that helps a heckuva lot. A heckuva lot.
Here’s the video of Perry’s comments on the sonogram legislation. Pretty good stuff although my one thought is man, the guy really does remind me of George W. Bush in his accents and mannerism. Will that be a drawback for some or has the horror that is Obama so frightened the American people that they’ll overlook that.

Informed consent is a mark of civilization. At 21 years of age a ward of the court, an orphan, is accorded the right to inherit his inheritance, and to marry without the written consent of his guardian, to enter into a legal contract, and to consume alcoholic beverages. At eighteen years of age, the emancipated person is free to purchase cigarettes, vote, join the armed services and drive a vehicle. At sixteen years of age the unemancipated minor child may legally get an abortion without parental notification, give legalized uninformed consent for sexual activity (prostitution or statutory rape)without the protection of her civil rights to legally informed consent held in trust for her by the state. At fourteen years of age, the unemancipated minor child may give uniformed consent for an abortion without parental notification, may give uninformed consent for prostitution and statutory rape without the protection of her civil rights held in trust for her by God, by her parents and by the state, in that order. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg championed uninformed sexual consent of fourteen year old girls.

The destruction of human life and the imposition of uninformed consent upon minor children is the establishment of the worship of the devil by the state. Executing one human being for the crimes of another though abortion is human sacrifice, the chief form of worship of the devil. Fornication and pornography are two other forms of worship of the devil legalized by the state and imposed upon the population by taxation to establish and support the worship of the devil. Sodomy and prostitution even the devil does not want. The devil has no soul. Despair and hopelessness are the rewards of devil worship.

The Person of God has been removed from the Public Square which was never authorized by the will of the people which is one with the common good. The soul of Jesus Christ is forbidden mention in the armed forces. The Holy Spirit, virginity, innocence, TRUTH is banned in public schools to our minor children. The Persons of almighty God are banned in public while the establishment and taxation for the worship of the devil in enforced. Those who would worship the devil let them go to hell. All men are created in absolute innocence and virginity and the state is authorized to protect and hold all their civil rights in trust for them until the age of informed consent at twenty one years.

"and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights and among these rights are LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…" Any one who denies these rights to another human being forfeits his own citizenship in the United States of America. The United States are constituted "to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity…Preamble of our Constitution. 4,400 of our posterity were aborted, put to death, for the crime of being human, innocent, virgin and alive today.

Has Gov. Perry ever apologized for or withdrawn the infamous Gardasil executive order?

I don't think he sounds much like Bush. Listening to him yesterday on Cavuto, my son said he sounds like John Wayne, but smarter. I too want to know about Gardasil. I will research and get back to you…

The above source from Realclearpolitics, Basically, the law was overturned by the legislature, Perry dropped it, and has not revisited it. Still, poor judgement based on the advice of a man he trusted, even though that man was a lobbyist for Merck. That's my read.
