If you don't know who Wendy Davis is, you should:

@WendyDavisTexas:
The leadership may not want to listen to TX women, but they will have to listen to me. I intend to filibuster this bill. #SB5 #txlege

Senator Davis is holding court to prevent the passage of Texas's neanderthal abortion bill.
At least, they are trying!

Good for her! Progressives in Texas have been amazingly organized on this as well--great to see!!

Can you imagine the nit wit sponsor of the anti-abortion bill thinks a rape kit "cleans out" a woman, preventing pregnancy? What rock did she crawl out from under, anyway? I was literally shaking my head last night when Rachel was covering this.

She can't have potty breaks or lean on the podium. One would think those kinds of things would be outdated by now.

and the republicans continue to try extra hard to rid themselves of her, by gerrymandering and cruel attacks on her character.

She is an amazing woman, and the TCDP supports her wholeheartedly. I was at the Victory Party 2012 and she did a great job holding on to her Senate seat, with the help of our local Democratic Party.

… GO WENDY GO …
