Yes, I think the most important thing that we accomplished is we empowered the voice of people in Texas, and people who wanted to stand against this intrusion, this government, big government intrusion into their personal lives and liberty…
I would not be at all surprised to see other abortion providers in Texas pursue a similar strategy, even prior to the outcome in two weeks, which will decide this on a more permanent basis.
It's a reaction coming from Republicans, independents and Democrats alike, which is saying Governor Perry, Lieutenant Governor Dewhurst, stay out of my private decision making.
I absolutely do. And I agree 100 percent, with what Mr. Obergefell said. These rights absolutely are under threat.
