First, let's remember that Rick Perry called an expensive special session JUST to try to prevent women from getting legal abortions. 

DMN

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel sided with clinics that sued over one of the most disputed measures of a sweeping anti-abortion bill signed by Republican Gov. Rick Perry in 2013. The ruling stops new restrictions that would have left seven abortion facilities in Texas by Sept. 1. There are currently 19 abortion providers in the state, according to groups challenging the law.

“The overall effect of the provisions is to create an impermissible obstacle as applied to all women seeking a previability abortion,” Yeakel wrote in his 21-page ruling.

....

Attorneys for the state denied that women would be burdened by fewer abortion facilities, saying nearly 9 in 10 women in Texas would still live within 150 miles of a provider. Critics say that still leaves nearly a million Texas women embarking on drives longer than three hours to get an abortion.

P.S. Don't forget that even Rick Perry's wife, Anita Perry, said that abortion could be a *woman's right* -at least until Rick Perry stepped in later to correct his wife, because you know, Anita Perry isn't allowed to have any opinions of her own and needs a man to WALK her opinions back.
