Texas Abortion Bill: Money Is Such A Beautiful Word

[PosthumanHeresy]

As we all should know by now, it's never about morals. No, instead, it's all about the money.

Women across the state of Texas are fighting a battle to keep their reproductive rights. Republicans are trying to force an extreme anti-abortion bill through the state legislature and Rick Perry desperately wants to sign it into law. So desperate, that he has called two special sessions of the legislature in an effort to pass it no matter how much Democrats or the people of Texas oppose it. And now we may know why.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Texas Governor Rick Perry’s own sister and her company stand to profit if the bill becomes law.

If the bill passes, only five Texas abortion clinics would remain open — those that are already equipped as ambulatory surgical centers, advocates say. But a question remains: would the 420 other ambulatory surgical centers that exist in Texas begin performing the operation? Abortion rights advocates predict that the demand for the procedure won’t disappear with passage of the law.

One company that will be faced with that decision is United Surgical Partners International, based in Addison, TX. Their vice-president of government affairs is Milla Perry Jones, Gov. Rick Perry’s sister. She is also on the board of the Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center Society.

As always, it's all about the money. The Perry family has officially reached Saturday Morning Cartoon villainy, so why not reference the Tom And Jerry movie?

Stories like these need to come with their own sickness bags.

That's just the smell of Texas in general.

Pretty much. It's never been about abortion, it's about the money. Again, they are literally the villains from the Tom and Jerry movie.

From the comments:

This bill is not extreme. 20 weeks of development is a fully formed, sentient child. You just don't get it.

That's exactly why women are able to give birth at 20 weeks without the fetus experiencing any health problems, you know:  recognizable as human = fully formed.

The worst part is "sentient child". Children fail tests for sentience until they are two or three. In comparison, dogs pass them.

*Also, everybody knows this is about greed, not simply having a lot of money.

Funny that you bring that up. My favorite podcast (Hosted by someone who lives in the city of Tulsa, right near wear I live) has something to say about this in the satirical opening narration of the episode here.

The lust for money is greed.

It's worse than just simple greed.  This piece of shit is putting people's lives in danger just so his sister can make more money.  Then he's lying about it, hiding behind his so-called morals.

BTW, is this info confirmed?  If so, then I think they should make use of Texas' Capital Punishment laws and make Perry the next one subject to it.  Harming people, then using religious morals to cover for it makes him no better than Bin Ladin!

Technically, he's not breaking any laws. And, by confirmed, if you mean that she in fact is in this position to benefit, yes. If you mean he's admitted it, of course not.
