Wendy Davis is continuing her campaign to reform her image as an abortion activist as she attempts to moderate her extreme views enough to placate a Texas electorate that is solidly pro-life. Davis has already downplayed her pro-abortion views and is attempting to focus on other political issues, and now she’s attempting to pull a fast one in her campaign for governor by declaring herself “pro-life.”
From a local news report about her campaign stop at the University of Texas at Brownsville:
It was late June when Wendy Davis, a state senator from Fort Worth, rocketed to national prominence on the strength of a 11-hour filibuster of a bill being considered that would indirectly lead to closing abortion clinics across Texas.
The story of her physical feat, and choice of pink footwear, made her a national icon overnight and led to calls from her supporters for her to run for governor, a call she answered in October.
But while in Brownsville Tuesday, Davis revealed her campaign for governor isn’t based on her abortion filibuster and brightly colored shoes.
Davis also characterized herself as a reluctant participant in the abortion debate.
“The battle over reproductive rights and women’s health care that was waged on June 25 was not a battle I chose,” she said. “When I believe women’s health is in danger, I’m going to stand and fight to protect that.”
“This isn’t about protecting abortion. It’s about protecting women,” she said.
The Wendy Davis apology tour concluded with her attempting to get voters to think she’s not obsessed with promoting late-term abortions up to the day of birth.
“I am pro-life,” she said, borrowing from the label anti-abortion activists assign themselves. “I care about the life of every child: every child that goes to bed hungry, every child that goes to bed without a proper education, every child that goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream, every woman and man who worry about their children’s future and their ability to provide for that future. I care about life and I have a record of fighting for people above all else.”
During a speech recently, Davis called abortion “sacred ground” and indicated she may run for governor. Later, she indicated she thinks pro-life women “don’t understand” abortion and she showed she has no understanding of the Kermit Gosnell case.
The last Democrat to be elected Texas Governor was Ann Richards in 1990. Since then, the Democratic nominee has lost every gubernatorial election.
In July, pro-life Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott made it official, saying he will run for governor and seek the GOP nomination to replace pro-life Governor Rick Perry, who is not planning to run again next year. Prior to assuming the office of attorney general, Abbott was a justice on the Texas Supreme Court and was appointed by former Texas governor and President George W. Bush.
At age 26, Abbott was struck by a falling oak tree that injured his back as he jogged by. He has used a wheelchair ever since and has become an eloquent pro-life advocate — speaking up for both the disabled and the unborn.
The accident serves as a reminder that regardless of someone’s circumstances, he or she deserves a chance at life, Abbott has said.
“As I laid there motionless on the ground, gripped with pain, as helpless as a child in the womb, I knew my life had changed forever,” he said at the National Right to Life convention in June.. “Some people think it’s easy to write off the lives of the disabled or the different. But every day, God reminds us that all life has value, no matter the form.”
Abbott, a rising Republican Party star, who is pro-life on abortion, is the leading contender with Perry not running. Abbott already has millions in the bank for a statewide bid.
Just one of Satan’s minions following her “father” in twisting the meaning of words to suit her purposes and deceive people.
Yeah. “Up is down.” “Good is evil.” “Evil is good.” And “death is life.” We get it, Windy.
Obama blazed the way. Lie your @$$ off. The low-information goobers will never know, and they outnumber the rest of us.
Ping.
Wow, no one would have ever even heard of her without her pro-abortion stunt earlier this year.
It appears the Mizz Davis has discovered "the eyes of Texas" and they are squarely upon her.
.
Amazing is right!
The Botox and hair dye have Pelosi’d her brain.
The only reason she’s attracting the Hollywood and NYC money is her Abortion Barbie persona...
Something tells me that TX won't let her get away with this sh*t.
The stench of rotting aborted humans clings to Wendy Davis.
No mas pantalones.
Texas’ Abortion Barbie says she’s pro-life. Yeah, just like Klaus Barbie.
Man...she’s a better liar than Zero.
Yah, and I’m the Wicked Witch of West, Wendy, and I’m gonna drop a house on you first chance I get!
You gotta hand it to leftists though. They are the masters at setting the narrative and adopting the language of the right. They would never win if they announced their true intentions, with De Blasio being a rare exception.
“...she indicated she thinks pro-life women “don’t understand” abortion and she showed she has no understanding of the Kermit Gosnell case.”
Let’s offer her a dare:
I suggest that we fund a trip to an abortion clinic to witness a late-term abortion. See how brave she is when she has to confront the actual procedure and watch the abortionist clip the spinal cord to kill the baby, not to mention the decrepit conditions of the likely facility.
Bumper Sticker should read: Wendy, be a Witness!
What a tawdry, lying SLUT Wendy Davis is.
That’s like Hitler claiming he’s not an anti-Semite.
