“Abortion Barbie” Wendy Davis Claims in Court That She Has Mental Health Issues
Redstate ^ | 11/6/2013 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 11/06/2013 5:47:16 PM PST by markomalley

The Democrats intent on taking back Texas were so desperate for a hero, they turned to pink clad Wendy Davis with, as Vogue described her, “Barbie-doll looks”. They might live to regret that.

Back in 1996, Wendy Davis lost an election for the Fort Worth, TX City Council. After the election, she sued the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the local newspaper, for defamation. In short, Davis did not like being criticized by the media (something she won’t have to worry about this go round), so she sued for those criticisms claiming they defamed her.

The Texas Court of Appeals and then the Texas Supreme Court both threw out her case. But it is worth noting that Davis, in making her case, claimed that the nasty newspaper, by virtue of criticizing her, damaged her “mental health.”

More worrisome regarding her mental stability, Davis sued the newspaper months after losing her city council and claimed that she “ha[d] suffered and [was] continuing to suffer damages to her mental health.”

Think about that. The best candidate the Texas Democrats could find to run is a lady who admits in open court that a newspaper editorial caused her mental health to be damaged.

Like Pelosi, the negative synergy of hair dye and Botox can lead to mental implosion.

“Vogue described her, “Barbie-doll looks”.

Is that her? Cause she looks like the Barbie Doll my daughter had “after” the dog got hold of it.

There's been a lot of rework, much of it unsuccessful.

Why would someone who is mentally damaged by a newspaper column go on for a political career? Doesn’t that make as much sense as an epileptic choosing to be a roadie in charge of lasers on an Electric Light Orchestra tour?

Never mind all of that, TX liberals see her as their ticket back to real power in Austin, and they will fight!

It’s a Disciples of Christ affiliate
I believe their position is that govt should make no legislation regarding abortion:

“Respect differences in religious beliefs concerning abortion and oppose, in accord with the
principle of religious liberty, any attempt to legislate a specific religious opinion or belief
concerning abortion upon all Americans. “
