YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) urged state lawmakers Tuesday to pass more restrictions on abortion, and proclaimed that his end goal is to outlaw the procedure entirely.
"To be clear, my goal, and the goal of many of those joining me here today, is to make abortion, at any stage, a thing of the past," Perry said at a press conference organized by Texas Right to Life. "While Roe v. Wade prevents us from taking that step, it does allow states to do some things to protect life if they can show there is a compelling state interest. I don't think there is any issue that better fits the definition of 'compelling state interest' than preventing the suffering of our state's unborn."*
Rick Perry is still campaigning to end abortion, and is using psuedoscience to back up his agenda. He was for invasive vaginal probing for women as well. Why is there a Republican obsession with taking away women's rights, and why is Perry still pursuing it? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
