For the Love of Texas, Don't Say the "A" Word!


Well, on behalf of all women, let me personally thank you, Mr. Perry! It makes so much sense that a man would truly understand the needs of a woman and her body. Right? Hardly! I have to wonder if Governor Perry even stopped once to wonder what would be considered a win for Texas women.

Perhaps, access to basic available health care? The Planned Parenthood program reaches far and wide across Texas and enables women to make educated and supported decisions about their bodies and health. Continuing to provide women with options and access would in my opinion be the winning plan.

Planned Parenthood does not offer abortion services. This is a fact. Please give me a break that the mere mention of abortion is equivalent to promoting it. If this is really something that people are going to follow, what else could it apply to?

Good for Planned Parenthood for suing. I hope this case stands as an example of  how the government can go too far. Free speech was implemented for a reason: to protect citizens rights from unfair legislature control such this.

I find it interesting that the appeals court begrudgingly released the injunction. I would like to know more about their rationale for why they believe these actions do not violate the Constitution. It seems very hypocritical that free speech can be allowed for disfavoring abortion and the activities that promote abortion, but criticized and banned when the word abortion is said or an organization has an affiliation with the word.

So, Mr. Perry, I ask you this. How do the Texas women win when their rights are reduced and they lose access to their basic health care facilities?  Maybe you need to explain what game you are playing so that we can understand why you decided there was anyone who won here.
