A bill that opponents claimed would virtually ban abortion in Texas

Such a crock of horsesh!t pushed by the hysterical women at Nutjob Parenthood.

It required medical care (a hospital) to be located within 30 miles of an abortuary to care for women who suffer BOTCHED ABORTIONS at the "safe, legal, and rare" abortion facilities.

Also prohibited abortions after 20 weeks (late term abortions).

The butchers in the media love to kill some babies.

There were chaotic scenes after a filibuster attempt fell just short and protesters cheered, clapped and shouted for the final 15 minutes as lawmakers tried to hold the vote before the session ended at midnight. The filibuster by Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, lasted more than 10 hours but ended after three challenges to her speech were upheld.

Should've kicked out the protester feminazis for interrupting the task at hand.

This planned parenthood funded protest of the bill HURTS WOMEN because it traps the victims of a botched abortion attempt at an ill suited facility unable to care for their abortionist caused injuries.

This was an anti-women move by Feminazis.

Call Gov Perry (512-463-2000) and Lt. Gov Dewhurst (512-463-0001) and ask:

That another Special Session be called, and

That proper decorum rules ARE FOLLOWED!

I read that a democrat TX Senator said, “they have a right to speak, we are a democracy”

I called his office the next day, to remind him that “we are NOT a democracy we are a Republic and therefor, the gallery DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISRUPT. They should all be in jail.

I wish you democrats would get it straight.”
