Democrat Wendy Davis admits to abortions (Abortion Barbie)
WND and AP ^ | 6 Sep 14 | PAUL J. WEBER and WILL WEISSERT

Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, who rose to prominence after her filibuster of Texas’ anti-abortion legislation, reveals in a new campaign memoir that she terminated two pregnancies for medical reasons in the 1990s, including one in which the fetus had developed a severe brain abnormality.

In the book, “Forgetting to Be Afraid,” Davis writes that she had an abortion in 1996 after an exam revealed that the brain of the fetus had developed in complete separation on the right and left sides. She also describes ending an earlier ectopic pregnancy, in which an embryo implants outside the uterus. It is the first time Davis has disclosed the terminated pregnancies since her nearly 13-hour Senate filibuster last year over a tough new Texas abortion law, which set off a chaotic scene in the Texas Capitol that extended past midnight.

David writes that an “indescribable blackness followed” the 1996 pregnancy and that the loss left her forever changed.

Since she is prone to leaving out pertinent pieces of information about her “plucky little woman” narrative...I can’t think of any reason to believe any thing she says.

I wonder if Joan Rivers doctor had admitting rights?

THAT is exactly the reason why admitting rights are important. If JR’s doctor did not have admitting rights, the hospital takes the hit on their mortality rates and that will affect quality ratings and Medicare reimbursements.

Yes, it’s about the money—but hospitals are getting sick of having to deal with the mistakes made in crappy little surgical suites.

Molly Ringwald?? Why do these women carve up their faces when they get older? I thought that was Dolph Lundgren.

” and that the loss left her forever changed”

So she decided to do whatever it took to make herself feel justified. She will forever promote abortion as cool and acceptable. An attempt to ease her conscience. The last thing she wants is for people to think of abortion as a terrible thing.

“She’s even lying about one of them. She had an ectopic pregnancy.”.

Sure dd. I had an ectopic pregnancy myself and nearly died from internal bleeding. All the time I was in the hospital recovering from surgery, I never heard the word “aborton” applied to what had happened to me.

Anyway, Texans are not by any stretch of the imagination going to elect this witch governor.

Windy's campaign adviser is Matt Angle...His real claim to fame is led Martin Frost's LAST campaign in Texas, which Frost lost, after dominating for years here in North Texas.

He's also the clown running the Abbott negative ads on TV.

The part that made my eyebrows hit my hairline was where it says first they "quieted the baby´s heart" (what would they call it if they smothered him with a pillow? Quieting his breathing?) and then they had the baby´s corpse baptized. BAPTIZED?

I´m not one to criticize other people´s religious practices, but isn´t Baptism supposed to be about being "born again" by water and the Holy Spirit? Don´t you have to be born first, in order to be born again?

And isn´t the Holy Spirit the "Lord and Giver of Life"? So, wouldn´t it be an insult to the Holy Spirit to kill a little baby that He just gave Life to, and entrusted to your protection and care?

This is a profound self-deception here. This is inspired, not by the Holy Spirit, but by that other spirit. The one who has been described as "a Liar, the Father of Lies, and a Murderer from the beginning."

If she were running in New York, California, Illinois, or any other prominent blue state she’d be winning by a landslide with an admission like that. The folks in Texas are too smart and wise to let this dingbat liberal get the governor’s seat. I guess she’s planning her future job as a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood.

That’s interesting. I wondered whose bright idea it was to spend beaucoup money on such dumb commercials. I keep in mind that I wouldn’t believe anything said about her...but these commercials aren’t even in the ballpark of credible.

Let’s hope Angle’s previous record holds true.

Yes, Mrs. Don-o, this is of the devil. We’re witnessing horendously evil things these days with no end in sight.

Still, we win in the end, and it only gets better from there.

head for California where she’s got a solid future in politics. With DiFi and Boxer being ancient, Wendy would be the perfect senator of the future.

That move would not surprise me..given her name recognition (dubiousness aside), she'd win here 70/30.

It’s all about presentation. Quieted sounds much better than killed.

As to the rest of your post...to the best of my recollection...there were people outside of the building the night she filibustered praising the devil.

Probably not invited by Davis...but it did her no favors.
