Perry pledges a pro-life VP pick
Hotair ^ | 8/31/11 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 08/31/2011 1:19:03 PM PDT by CA Conservative

When Rick Perry signed the Susan B. Anthony List’s pro-life pledge last week, it raised a few eyebrows among those who recall his endorsement of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 2008, a noted pro-choice Republican. Perry insisted that a President Giuliani would appoint conservative jurists to the bench and that his personal views would not be relevant. Four years later, Perry now says that, if nominated, he will make sure his running mate is not just pro-life, but an advocate for the cause:

Surging Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, the Texas governor, has pledged to influential Christian leaders that he will push pro-life policies, oppose gay marriage, and pick cabinet officials and a vice president who share his values, a promise that would rule out a Perry-Rudy Giuliani ticket.

"At a weekend Texas gathering of about 200 conservative leaders, some from Washington, Perry and his wife Anita portrayed themselves as authentic and life-long conservatives who could bring the most pro-life administration ever to Washington."

“Perry pledges a pro-life VP pick”

Not that it matters, the G.O.P. will NEVER do anything to outlaw abortion. It takes away the carrot.

Christian Conservatives are the horse they ride to electoral victory.

Their pledges are meaningless in any real sense, of course

Meanwhile the GOP becomes ever more “moderate”.

We’re running to the left of democrats from 1970.

Howabout a pro-fiscal responsibility pick? That’s what we really need right now.

What would you have the GOP do “to outlaw abortion?”

Roe v Wade is the law, as I understand it.

Certain limited restrictions on abortion but not outlawing it have passed in quite a few states.

Some have survived court challenges, others have been struck down.

It’s a good question. It is imperative that we get a strongly pro-life, conservative President into office in Jan. 2013. Then we can get some more conservative Supreme Court Justices on the SCOTUS. Of course that also means we must take over the US Senate as well & with a comfortable majority. It will be a tall order, but is doable considering the current curcumstances.

Since when is Perry pro-life?

He supports abortion in cases of rape and incest.

Most folks do.

Would you force a young lady to carry a rapist’s child or one from incest that could have severe problems.?
