Governor Perry has supported a bill in the Legislature to forbid all elective abortions after 20 weeks. He proposed that fetuses can feel pain after 20 weeks and should be protected.

I can only wish that the governor felt as much compassion for the 2 million Texans who could have access to healthcare, for 10 cents on the dollar, under the Affordable Care Act. His refusal to extend Medicaid to these Texans is the most heartless, fiscally stupid decision I've seen in my 68 years.
