Texas Governor Rick Perry calls another 30 day special session of the Texas Legislature so they can have another shot at passing their anti-abortion bill that barely missed the deadline earlier this week.

Well, Actually No. Rand Paul introduces his “Life at Conception” act, which declares that life begins at conception, making abortion murder (so should that be punishable by the death penalty?).

[I am reprinting this article by Nicholas P. Cafardi from the National Catholic Reporter in its entirety because it is perfect. It is beyond hypocritical that politicians regularly claim they believe in one thing, while their actions directly support the opposite.

Last week, over fifty newspapers pulled the Doonesbury comic strips because they dealt with the increasing number of new laws that require women to get an unnecessary sonogram to show them an image of their fetus before they can get an abortion.
