Well, I guess we could give them points for honesty, via Pandagon:
Governor Signs Abortion Bill At Fort Worth Church

In a ceremony filled with religious references, Gov. Rick Perry signed a bill at a church school gymnasium Sunday that imposes more limits on late-term abortions and requires minor girls to get written parental consent for abortions.

"And it has been a tragedy of unspeakable consequences that for decades activist courts denied many Texas parents their right to be involved in one of the most important decisions their young daughter could ever make -- whether to end the life that was growing inside her," Perry told a crowd of about 1,000 people gathered at the Calvary Christian Academy. "For too long, a blind eye has been turned to the rights of our most vulnerable human beings -- that's the unborn in our society."


Vive la Microscopic-Americans! Or something. But here's the money quote:

During the 1 1/2-hour program, Perry also signed a resolution to amend the Texas Constitution by banning same-sex marriages.

"Texans have made a decision about marriage and if there is some other state that has a more lenient view than Texas then maybe that's a better place for them to live," Perry said.


I'm literally at a loss for words here on so many levels...

As long as you're white I think we can safely say, "close enough" where they're concerned. Unless, of course, you're gay, in which case all bets are off.

Hell no, but it does mean there's hope yet that you can be set back on the straight and narrow path. After all, I'm told it's just a phase.

Hm... You know, I just think I should forget it. I don't think I have a chance, anyway ;)
