Gov. Perry: Wife Misspoke in Backing Right to Abortion

HeadlineOct 03, 2013

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is claiming his wife misspoke when she referred to abortion as a woman’s right. At a public event last month, Anita Perry was quoted as saying that although she is personally opposed, abortion “could be a woman’s right, just like it’s a man’s right if he wants to have some kind of procedure.” Perry says his wife used the “wrong word in the wrong place.”
