@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!

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 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
