Algore was a thru and thru pro abort liberal when he was in the Senate starting in 1985.
There wasn't an internet in 1988, so Perry's statement that he supported Algore before the internet really doesn't address the fact that Perry did indeed support an across the board liberal at that time.
Perry really needs to come clean on this.
FreeReign, you are totally wrong!

Al Gore's Relentless Promotion of Abortion
By Carol Tobias, NRL PAC Director
Although there are many pro-life Democrats, the national Democratic Party has once again selected a presidential candidate who believes there should be absolutely no restrictions on abortion and would offer no protection for unborn children who are deemed "unwanted."
In the case of Vice President Al Gore, compounding this unfortunate reality is that early in his career Gore voted much differently. As a member of the United State House of Representatives from 1977 to 1984, Gore compiled an 84% pro-life voting record. He also responded to many constituents with letters that appeared to be pro-life.
However, after being elected to the Senate in 1984, Gore switched his position. He quickly began to assemble a strongly pro-abortion voting record.
Google it.
Anyone who didn’t feel Algore was a tree-hugger in the 1980s wasn’t paying attention. Gore was one of the first Dems to sound the “global warming” alarm and was holding hearings about “climate change” as early as 1976. In the 1980s, Gore was well known by the national media as the go-to guy for “the sky is falling!” enviromental talks. Here’s clip of then Congresssman Al Gore discussing the issue on a “Climate Crisis” news special in 1983:
