During a speech and press conference today, pro-abortion Texas lawmaker Wendy Davis said she would consider running for governor. The abortion activist also pulled a page from Nancy Pelosi’s playbook by calling defending late-term abortions “sacred ground.”
“I’ll seek common ground – we all must – but sometimes you have to take a stand on sacred ground,” Davis said during her press conference — referring to her filibuster to stop a bill to ban abortions after five months.
Reporters asked Davis if she supported any limits on abortions and she responded that she did not — saying she supports current federal law.
Davis has been the subject of considerable speculation as to whether she would run for the Democratic nomination for governor and take on likely Republican nominee Gregg Abbott, a pro-life advocate who is currently the state attorney general.
“I can say with certainly that I will run for one of two offices: my state sen seat or the governor,” she said at the press conference.
Despite the fact that unborn children have no voice, Davis talked about finding hers.
. @WendyDavisTexas: Discovering you have a voice is a powerful feeling. I know because I remember when I discovered my own.

During the press conference, pro-life advocates challenged Davis on Twitter:
Davis: “Every Texan deserves a voice… future belongs to all” Except 5 month old babies in the womb? #npclunch — Susan B Anthony List (@SBAList) August 5, 2013
Shorter Wendy Davis: I’ll use pro-family and pro-woman platitudes to cover up my support for abortion at six months or more. #NPClunch — Steven Ertelt (@StevenErtelt) August 5, 2013
#npclunch Wendy Davis wants common ground. Hard to get more common ground than 20 wk #abortion limit supported by maj of Americans #prolife

Simple question: Does Wendy Davis support ANY limit to abortion — if not at 20 weeks — up to the moment of birth? #npclunch

Like @NancyPelosi Wendy Davis considers late term abortion “sacred ground.” #abortion #npclunch — Mary Powers (@mary_e_powers) August 5, 2013
Wendy wants “common ground,” what about limiting #abortion in the SIXTH month? — mallory quigley (@mallorytq) August 5, 2013
.@WendyDavisTexas claims to be a voice for the people, I guess just except for voiceless unborn people. #npclunch

nazi peloser said the exact same thing. Sacred right... blasphemy... she will pay when she faces HIS judgement. They both will.
LLS
liberalism and satanism... once there was a difference but now they are of the same.
LLS
“The abortionists are EVIL”
Yes... and they are also MASS MURDERERS!
Those who hate God killed babies in the Old Testament, they killed them in the New Testament, and they kill them today.
Don’t give them any ideas.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
OK, this is faster...
Collect money from neo-commie democrat supporters.
Start small fire in backyard.
Throw the money into the fire.
See? EASY!

Murder is Murder. Does it really matter if the child is 8 months in the womb and murdered or one month out and murdered?
I don’t see the difference.
As we have always known about feminists. Frankly, I hope Ms. Davis gets LOTS of media coverage for this, so the average Joe and Jane can understand the mindset behind the pro-abortion movement.
