Wendy Davis Letter: I Experienced “Discomfort” Pushing Late-Term Abortions
Life News | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 12/12/2013 5:20:21 PM PST by Morgana

Wendy Davis is headlong into her campaign to become the next governor of Texas and the state legislator known for filibustering a bill to ban late-term abortions this week issued a new fundraising letter to raise cash for her campaign.

“I stood on the Texas state Senate floor for nearly 13 hours to speak up for you,” Davis opens. “And even though I wasn’t allowed to eat, drink, sit or lean on my desk or leave the Senate floor, the discomfort I felt was nothing compared to what some families go through on a daily basis.”

No Wendy, the discomfort you felt is nothing compared to the pain of being killed in an abortion when an unborn baby is viable and can survive outside her mother’s womb. Texans won’t forget next November, as they defeat you at the polls.

Davis’ attempt to jump from abortion activist to Texas governor is failing so far, as a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll has the pro-life state Attorney General leading her so far.

The poll finds Greg Abbott leading Davis in the race for governor, 40% to 34%. In a three-way race against Davis and Libertarian Kathie Glass, Abbott’s lead remains at 5 percent, 40-35 percent.

As a result, 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 attempted to pull a fast one in her campaign for governor by declaring herself “pro-life.”

Yet, 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.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is seeking 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.

CLICK LIKE IF YOU’RE PRO-LIFE!

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.”

This is Davis' attempt at "moderating." It's what leftist Dems do. Earlier, Davis tried to redefine the term pro-life.

Republicans should embrace being pro-life, and say the opposition is pro-death.

So, Wendy “Scissors” Davis, if it made you so uncomfortable, then why did you do it with such delight?

Abortion Barbie has an even bigger uphill fight when the election actually begins.

Sometimes she uses scissors. Just last week she was spotted at Toys-R-Us twisting the heads off baby dolls.

Wendy Davis must be a ignoramus....or so stupid or gullible to listen to the hard left of her party to think she can win....

Texas is and has been and always will be a pro-life majority.....

No way can a pro death, anti life politician win a state wide election in Texas ...

Whoever is whispering in her ear is using her to their end purposes...

Not nearly the discomfort of those who undergo them though (the unborn babies that is).

She should be forced to attend such a procedure.

Saw the headline and thought it meant that she was feeling pangs of guilt for advocating infanticide— but no!
