…or it was terminated. Really depends on your definition of when a bill becomes a law. you can’t see her hands but she’s totally throwing the horns because she’s hardcore.
The Texas Senate
It takes some serious stones to deliver a ten hour filibuster to stop an abortion bill in a state where they endorse killing everything except fetuses.
Sen. Davis spent 10 hours reading letters from constituents about how harmful the bill would be and was only stopped after straying away from the topic three times which was weird because I thought you could talk about whatever you wanted during a filibuster. Didn’t Strom Thurman read from a phone book to keep black people from voting?
Here’s just some of the provisions of the bill that would’ve restricted a woman’s right to choose.
*All abortion clinics have to be at the top of 6 story walk-ups.
*The term “patient” must be replaced with “murdering whore” in all medical literature.
*Every abortion clinic waiting room must constantly play Ben Folds Five’s “Brick” on repeat.
This was a huge defeat for Senate republicans, who said they’d blow off some steam by spending the day watching some mentally handicapped prisoners get executed.
