The Washington Times ^ | June 28, 2013 | Cheryl K. Chumley

The Democrat at the heart of the successful filibuster of a Texas bill to ban abortion after the 20-week pregnancy mark proved an above and beyond dedication to beating back the measure — she even wore a catheter.

Sen. Wendy Davis, 50, donned running shoes, a back brace and a urinary catheter in the walk up to her Tuesday filibuster that ultimately spanned 11 hours.

When are we going to see a Republican with that sense of conviction?

I wonder if she also wore a device similar to an “in the egg, egg scrambler”, for feces? Probably not, because it might all flow out and she would deflate like a balloon, being full of it.

A back brace, too. That’s cheating. Filibusters are supposed to require a little suffering, at least.

But maybe some of the GOP losers could get some of those back braces. Not quite a spine, but it might help a bit.

You must be kidding me...A catheter? I can fish on the beach for 11 hours, drinking wine the whole time and STILL hold my water.

I used to work in a NICU.....That pic brings back memories....

I worked in a large hospital's ER for many years.We had an OB service and a NICU but,because there was a huge pediatric hospital literally next door,we in the ER never saw kids because the hospital didn't have a pediatric service.

I'm thankful for that because as bad as it is to see a dead 80 year old I know I could never have handled seeing sick kids.But,as I tell my niece (who's a pediatric nurse) "somebody's gotta do it".

The good thing was....95% of time we could fix the babies.

Mostly they were just premature....

They got better...and went home.

Thank God for Survanta.......

I now work in a LTAC.....30% of our patients die there.

FWIW-

Ew.

Does the Left have more passion for their cause than the Right?

We are treated to every sordid clinical detail of this media heroine’s effort to get more babies killed, but we learned next to nothing about the conditions in Kermit Gosnell’s death chamber. I can’t take much more of this.

Yes, indeed. If the letters “T,” “M” and “I” were ever meant to be together, it’s now. Along with that story about the psycho astronaut with the diapers.

Obamacare Ruling: Religious Employers Must Provide Birth Control Coverage
Friday, June 28, 2013 06:03 PM

By: Todd Beamon

The White House ruled Friday that employees of religious-affiliated, nonprofit institutions would receive insurance coverage for birth control under Obamacare, ensuring more legal challenges to the rule.

“[Friday’s] announcement reinforces our commitment to respect the concerns of houses of worship and other nonprofit religious organizations that object to contraceptive coverage, while helping to ensure that women get the care they need, regardless of where they work,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Early last year, the Obama administration said that universities, hospitals, and other employers with a religious affiliation could avoid paying directly for contraceptives.

Don’t you hate it when your auto-correct feature replaces ‘skank’ with ‘skunk’? :=)

Get the troops lined up, Governor, and bury this pro-baby killer! Her arguments, like most of the Democrats and their Republicrat allies, stink!
