Wendy Davis's remarkable filibuster to deny passage of abortion bill
Senator's 11-hour speech successfully stalls bill that would close almost all abortion clinics in America's second-largest state
At 11.18am on Tuesday, a little-known Texas senator named Wendy Davis stood up and began a passionate speech against a bill that would severely restrict access to abortions in America's second-largest state.
Ten hours and 45 minutes later the 50-year-old was still talking, still on her feet, and the embattled pro-choice movement had a new national icon.
Wearing a smart jacket and pink running shoes, Davis embarked on an epic filibuster attempt to deny the bill passage through the Texas legislature by talking non-stop for 13 hours to prevent a vote. With less than two hours to go before the midnight deadline, she was finally silenced when Republicans challenged her on a "three strikes and you're out" rule, claiming she had violated regulations by twice straying off-topic and by allowing a colleague to help her with a back brace.
But with the aid of fellow Democrats and hundreds of cheering, jeering protestors, the bill was successfully stalled amid chaotic scenes lasting into the early hours of Wednesday. By then, hundreds of thousands of Americans were following events live on social media and Davis had become a star.
As a fitness enthusiast she had the stamina required for the gruelling feat of endurance. The rules are strict: no digressions, no food or water, no leaning on a desk, no bathroom breaks. And no sitting - Davis's chair was removed when she started speaking, hence the need for comfortable footwear.

SHE is my Shero!
Where is Bernie?
Because the contrast with their elitist weathervane candidate makes her look like what she is. So they attack him on every conceivable basis--even for bringing his own coffee to a meeting at the White House ("He insulted the staff!!11!" . Pathetic.
50 people just got slaughtered the other day with legally bought military assault weapons of mass killing..where is Bernie?
His colleagues would love to have him participate I'm sure. But naw, Bernie's a no-show today as 50 Americans get put into the cold cold ground.
They died to protect big gun manufactures profits, the NRA reign of terror continues..who will be shot down like dogs in the street next?
Thanks for all the help Bernie.

So, don't feel too many about anyone criticizing Bernie for this.
This was an historic occasion, and would have been a good opportunity for Bernie to show his support for common-sense gun reform. He is still a sitting Senator. He really should have been there. Even two Republicans engaged, but not Bernie. I think that's a shame.
Well, you asked. 
What is the longest filibuster Hillary engaged in when she was in Congress?
