Perry Campaign Press Release - Governor Perry Vows To Defund Planned Parenthood

CHERYL CASONE: Another controversial topic that has been making a lot of news and I want to get you to weigh in on this as well, the issue of Planned Parenthood. Some very disturbing videos have emerged of these top officials of Planned Parenthood basically saying that they're going to be selling baby parts, it's disgusting stuff. I know you're pro-life, I do know that, but would you pull federal funding from Planned Parenthood if you were president right now?

RICK PERRY: Well we did that in Texas when I was the Governor. We zeroed out the funding for Planned Parenthood in the state of Texas and I see no difference between that and I think all Americans who have conscience looked at that video and realized that's not where they want their federal dollars being spent. I think Democrats and Republicans alike, they see that — that's abhorrent, and we shouldn't be spending federal dollars on Planned Parenthood.
