"AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Rick Perry today ceremonially signed House Bill 15, which requires a woman to have a sonogram before electing to have an abortion to ensure she is fully informed before making such an impactful decision. The governor designated the measure an emergency item for the 2011 Legislative Session. He was joined by Sen. Dan Patrick and Rep. Sid Miller at the signing ceremony.
“Every life lost to abortion is a tragedy we all must work together to prevent, and I commend Rep. Miller and Sen. Patrick for their hard work on this significant legislation,” Gov. Perry said. “This important bill will ensure that every Texas woman seeking an abortion has all the facts about the life she is carrying, and understands the devastating impact of such a life-changing decision.”

No one ever said it was. Getting a sonogram, is mandated health care.
I think this a good step to prevent more slaughter of the unborn. One of the few legitimate functions of govt. is to protect innocent life.
If killing innocent humans was healthcare I would agree with you.
I see this as regulating Supreme Court mandated death camps when their prohibition supposedly violates the constitution.
Not sure if that thread explores it later on but we had several investigation threads where we demonstrated Christen was NOT a Planned Parenthood director as claimed. She was the director of an adoption organization that a decade after she left, was taken over by Planned Parenthood. The original charge regarding Planned Parenthood was traced to a group named something like Families for Alaska which only seemed to have one or two members. The founder also had a blog called Alaska Pride that linked to some pretty disturbing websites similar to Stormfront. Christen also does not have PP on her resume nor could we find any confirmation from PP about her involvement.
IE, the Christen attack was another false smear. Unfortunately in the age of the internet the lie went around the world so many times before anyone found the truth. By then, it was far too late, it was ‘common knowledge’ that couldnt’ be counteracted.
Otherwise he's a good Conservative and Governor of the state with the best economy & employment in these tough times.
Sarcasm is in the eye of the beholder.
Pls tell us which perfect Conservative are you supporting or which you'd like to see run against Barry?
I don't like Perry denouncing the AZ illegal immigration bill and I don't like him supporting NAFTA but I'd vote for him for President in a heartbeat!
God bless all of them!
There is NO radiation involved here. A sonogram uses sound waves.
Will you stop with the whining about cost. This will cost very little and is worth it.
Women do not know the full extent of what they are doing. If they look at that helpless baby inside them and still want to do that, they will be free to do so ... until we can change the law.
But if it wakes some of them up ... it will be well worth it.
Not true with the new machines that can show a 3 week old gestation.The majority of abortions are not preformed until atleast 5 weeks so this should not even be an issue.
Wrong once again.Statics say that 9 out of 10 women who see an ultrasound will not go throguh with an abortion.This knocks the line about it just being a a mass off cells right out of the water.I person0ally don’t care about the cost I care about the babies.
Gov't will have the ability to force you to take vaccines, and other things for the children, without exception, religious or otherwise.
It is already against the law to murder. Charge people who perform abortions. But, don't dictate what medical procedure someone has to have.
I agree. Slippery slope.
Don’t be fooled by Perry. He wanted illegals to have in state tuition, voted for mandatory Guardisil injections and many other things. He is a former Dimocrat with MUCH baggage.
Well...........the GOP has NO ONE. If Sarah doesn’t run and Perry does run........Perry’s got my vote, so far. There is NO ONE else, thus far. This will make it less stressful on voting day, believe me :>
