👍 I like Rick Perry. Two weeks in and he already leading the GOP field. As long as he can articulate his positions well, I think he could easily win the nomination.

The pledge itself consists of four parts.
First is a promise to nominate judges who “are committed to restraint and applying the original meaning of the Constitution, not legislating from the bench.”
Second is a vow to appoint only anti-abortion personnel to “relevant” administration posts.
Third is a promise to “advance pro-life legislation” and end taxpayer funding of abortion and de-fund Planned Parenthood “and all other contractors and recipients of federal funds with affiliates that perform or fund abortions.”
Finally, candidates must pledge that they will “advance and sign” legislation to protect “unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.”
The following candidates refused to sign the pledge:
Herman Cain,
Gov. Jon Huntsman,
Gov. Gary Johnson,
Gov. Mitt Romney.

Candidates who have signed the pledge:
Rep. Michele Bachmann
Speaker Newt Gingrich
Rep. Ron Paul
Sen. Rick Santorum
Rep. Thaddeus McCotter
Gov. Rick Perry
