That depends on what definition of 'hissy fit' you rely. Perry certainly did not like it that his EO was overturned and he was far from going along happily with it.
In short order, the Legislature overwhelmingly overturned the decree. Acknowledging he did not have the votes to sustain a veto of the legislation, Perry announced he would allow it to become law without his signature. But he sharply criticized the Legislature.
"In the next year, more than a thousand women will likely be diagnosed with this insidious yet mostly preventable disease," Perry said at a May 9, 2007, news conference, surrounded by women who had been affected by HPV, including one who he said had been infected by a rapist. "I challenge legislators to look these women in the eyes and tell them, 'We could have prevented this disease for your daughters and granddaughters, but we just didn't have the gumption to address all the misguided and misleading political rhetoric.'"
Until now, Perry never yielded to opponents who said he should have handled the issue differently rather than through a unilateral executive order. U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison tried to make it an issue in her gubernatorial campaign to unseat him in 2010. In a January 2010 debate, Perry defended his decision to issue the executive order. It was not a mistake — “no sir, not from my position,” he said. “I stand proudly by my pro-life position.”
Not a mistake? Then why does he now say it was?
“I made a mistake on that,” Perry told Iowa Radio later in the day Monday, calling it “an error in not having a conversation with the people of the state of Texas.”
I’ll let Perry speak for himself but obviously the writer put some opinion into the piece.
What I can’t understand is why you hate Texan females and want them to die from cancer?
Why do you hate families and affordable medications?
Perry found a way for those who could not afford cancer preventing medicine to obtain it if they wanted it and those that did not want it to by pass it.
What part of that pisses you off the most?
Cancer prevention or affordability?
Seems you only hate women more than you do Perry?
