I even looked at the bill. I was shocked to see that the 20 week ban was there in the original bill, but, the bill that left the Senate, the ban was no where to be found.
How can you be pro-life and vote against an abortion ban?
I wish I could find some genuine pro-life officials in Texas to support. It all seems like a game to them.
But the ‘famous’ part includes a reputation for gold-digging opportunist and baby killer.....not much of a rep in my book.
The Stupid Party (TM) strikes again.
Can I borrow the Stupid Party’s logo? I want to make it my gravatar lol
Well it’s about time the Republicans started choosing candidates for the Democrats. The other side has done it to us on the national level twice in the last two election cycles.
The author confuses fame and infamy.
HAHAHAHAHAHA "rise to stardom" HAHAHAHAHA. This guy's a riot.
Oh wait, he was serious?!?!?
The baby killer’s fifteen minutes are up. She’s about to lose in a landslide. Dems are pumping a corpse at this point.
“Can I borrow the Stupid Party’s logo?”
Sure, it’s a picture of a bucking jackass.
I think with all the plastic surgery, shes already been pumped plenty. lol
Well yes, she is so famous thanks to the Republicans the DNC doesn’t even want to help finance her campaign figuring she is a lost cause.
Bump
That is what the article infers, isn’t it? That TX Republicans created an atmosphere/environment where the Dems were goaded into promoting an eventual gubernatorial nominee (Davis) who is really a one trick pony and doesn’t stand much of a chance of getting elected.
Not sure I’m buying that. But it wouldn’t hurt to have the Democrats believe that the GOP was so adept at such manipulations.
The final nail is about to be driven into the coffin of abortion clinics in all of the state of Texas according to articles I have read this past week. The pro-aborts are gnashing their teeth. You should be happy. So where’s your beef?
Sometimes it appears one of our guys (gals) voted counter to our desires. Some legislative maneuvers require a yes vote to get it off the table and on to the real vote that counts. Could you be confusing one of these procedural votes?
Why not call Dan Patrick and ask him about it?
If you look at the Senate journal, you can see the adoption of the amendment submitted by Hegar. The bill is then amended by the House committee to put the abortion ban back in the bill.
This wasn’t procedural. The Senate Republicans took it out.
I am sure Dan Patrick could slither his way around it with lots of words.
The so-called famous Wendy, “Abortion Barbie”, Davis will be luck to get 35% of the vote.
The only downside is that Abortion Barbie failed too early.
She was going to be the perfect sinkhole for national progressive campaign ca$h, but I’ve read that the national Dem party has already written off her race as unwinnable.
Here is when Hegar’s amendment is recorded in the Senate Journal:

Here is when it gets voted on:
http://www.journals.senate.state.tx.us/sjrnl/831/pdf/83S106-18-F1.PDF#page=25
Then, I repeat, call Hegar and Patrick and ask them to explain. Hallelujah the abortions clinics are closing!! Be Happy !!
But not all of them, and I am not going to be happy until clinics like the abortion supercenter in Houston is closed.
The issue is, if the version the Senate passed had become law, then, yes, clinics would have closed, but the remaining ones that stayed open would have been legally permitted to perform abortions on babies older than 20 weeks.
