Perry says Texas abortion bill constitutional

WEST, Texas (AP) — Gov. Rick Perry says the abortion bill awaiting his signature to become Texas law is constitutional and will withstand court challenges by those who oppose it.

Perry told reporters Saturday, hours after the bill passed, that "we wouldn't have passed it if we didn't think it was constitutional."

He said he had no timetable for signing the bill, but a spokesman for the Republican governor said it could be signed midweek.

Perry said some say the measure goes too far "but most Texans don't."

why didn't "rich" Texas (they go on and on about their "surplus" and jobs) put some money into the bill to get those health clinics up to the code they are demanding?

Governor Good-Hair says all sorts of things. That doesn't make his pronouncements true.

One of the few (if bitter) solaces I've taken since the start of Perry's career IMO is that the Texas Democratic Party lost a truth-challenged politician back when Perry turned his coat and became a Republican.
