Candidate Rick Perry recently switched sides on abortion. A few weeks ago, Perry was asked how he felt about abortion. He replied that he felt it was morally wrong except in the case of rape and incest. In a recent town hall meeting in Iowa, a pastor asked Perry the same question and this time Perry said it was unacceptable in all situations. Did he do this to please religious conservatives Iowa? The author of the post seems to think so. With a week til the Iowa caucus, Perry is seeking religious conservative voters. His new stance goes against that of his wife, Anita. Anita has been a long time supporter and fundraiser of a pro-choice group in Texas known as TAASA. Since her induction, Anita has tripled the donations received by TAASA. A TAASA spokesperson says that Anita still works diligently for the group and doesn't get involved with issues involving policy. Perry's spokesman, Ray Sullivan, says that both Rick and Anita have always opposed abortion.
