Rick Perry Uses Joan Rivers’ Death To Defend Anti-Abortion Laws
[su_right_ad]Whatever works to appeal to the far-right anti-abortion crowd, right?
Rick Perry has suggested that Joan Rivers might still be alive had the clinic where her botched endoscopy was performed been held to the same stringent standards required under his controversial abortion law.
“It was interesting that, when Joan Rivers, and the procedure that she had done where she died, that was a clinic,” said Perry, defending his law in front of an audience at the Texas Tribune Festival earlier today. “It’s a curious thought that if they had that type of regulations in place, whether or not that individual would still be alive.”
His highly restrictive bill, HB2, requiring clinics to meet hospital-level operating standards, a standard that would shutter most of Texas’ cash-strapped abortion clinics, was signed into law last year.

If he wants to see botched, he should see what happens in a botched abortion via coathanger. Back alley abortions were really fun, too.

very good. You need to go to the houston chronicle, section B page 11. Pull the srticle and the pic on page 11. It would be perfect here. It was in this mornings paper

What was? I’m lost.

your comment was very good. Then I clumsily was giving you some info to a hilariously scary article and picture concerning militias, rednecks and the border

I’m just slow today. It’s been a crazy day.

Perry arguing for regulations, in a state where a polluting fertilizer company can blow up and entire town. once again he proves he’s an effing clown.

This ignoramus was actually elected to public office.
I’m looking at you Texas. Shame on you.

Bayou progressive has a great picture of Perry in Dallas. A women was having dinner and he walked in, she asked to have her picture taken with him….she stood next to him, very close with her hand on his chest….shooting the bird.

I saw that. Priceless!
tracey marie September 21st, 2014 at 9:30 pm
That was terrific, do you read the site or was it passed around?
searambler September 21st, 2014 at 9:33 pm
Someone posted it on facebook.
tracey marie September 21st, 2014 at 9:33 pm
A friend of mine did that as well

“It’s a curious thought that if they had that type of regulations in place, whether or not that individual would still be alive.”
Wait……..what? This guy is a state Governor? And this is how he expresses himself, with gibberish. Unbelievable.
tracey marie September 21st, 2014 at 9:30 pm
the guy can’t count to three when enumerating the things he will repeal if elected*snicker* President.
Dwendt44 September 22nd, 2014 at 2:41 pm
He can count to three, he just doesn’t know what to do when he gets there.
I bet he could even count past 10 if he took his boots off.

Again..
Texas…
I am beginning to think there is an alien invasion of crazy people that has occupied Texas..(it aint brown skinned people)..
Seems like every time I read an article..
Someone from Texas is going off the hook…
If they aren’t storming the White house with a knife or some lunatic congress critter spouting crazy talk..
They sure seem to be in the news a lot..(and not for anything positive).

Never one to dig too deeply into an issue, is he. If he did, he would know that the procedure was done by someone who should not have been doing it, and the procedure was not supposed to be done at a clinic due to the risk. If he’d taken 30 seconds to have somebody smart look it up for him, he’d see that the death is under investigation.
William September 21st, 2014 at 11:09 pm
“If he’d taken 30 seconds to have somebody smart look it up for him”
BINGO
Dwendt44 September 22nd, 2014 at 12:04 am
You are assuming he knows a smart person.
William September 21st, 2014 at 11:05 pm
Look very closely at this…check out the tie
Obewon September 22nd, 2014 at 12:10 am
Guber Perry is so easily flipped off without a clue because the smarter sex knows today abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Women only have 10 weeks from midcycle conception to choose -unless you’re Mrs. Rick Santorum dying of septic shock & needing a lateterm procedure at 22.5 weeks.

the sweet thing is, it wasn’t an accident “finger” lol!
juicyfruityyy September 22nd, 2014 at 1:31 am
Who is suppose to be the recipient of her middle finger?
Dwendt44 September 22nd, 2014 at 12:18 pm
Perhaps to show the contempt Perry has for the average person.
Arturo Jacobo Saiz September 22nd, 2014 at 9:29 am
The blame for this dumb ass Cretin lies with the lowest IQ constituency in the Country…I offer as proof the fact they voted for Ted Cruz and Louie Gomert…..don’t get me started with Albert Gonzales or that tiny little man from Crawford….

no one ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of Americans.
