Texas Governor Rick Perry may have to address Gay Rumors

Now I'm not the one to spread rumors; but if Rick Perry plans to run for President, he will need to address some gay rumors. Yes, I said GAY rumors.

Here's the scoop:

Texas Governor Rick Perry's camp is prepared to tackle unfounded rumors dating back to as early as 2004 about the Lone Star State Republican's personal life should he run for president and the allegations resurface, according to Politico.

Roughly seven years ago, Perry himself addressed the unsubstantiated buzz that he and his wife planned to divorce and that he was gay. He denied the rumors and told the Austin American-Statesman at the time that he was the victim of a "smear campaign" being conducted by his political enemies.

I wonder where did these rumors come from. Maybe Mike Rogers could dig this up and see if there's truth to this.

Texas Approves Controversial Abortion Bill

You know Texas can't sit still for too long. It seems the state has to do something crazy to draw attention. Well, yesterday they exceeded expectations. Their lawmakers have passed a bill that makes doctors to perform a sonogram before giving the patient an abortion.

The legislation requires doctors to conduct a sonogram at least 24 hours before an abortion and to provide the woman with the opportunity to see the results and hear the fetal heartbeat. The doctor is also required to describe what the sonogram shows.


In cases of incest, rape or fetal abnormality, the woman doesn't have to hear a description of the fetus.


Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, stands behind the controversial measure. While different versions of the proposal were under debate earlier this year, Perry regarded the legislation as an emergency priority.


"Ensuring Texans have access to all the information when making such an important decision is a critical step in our efforts to protect life, and I look forward to this legislation reaching my desk very soon," said Perry in a statement earlier this week, lauding the state legislature for advancing the measure. 

I hope women are outraged by this silly bill. It's just wrong and invasive.
