Ya, cuz killing your baby after 20 weeks is worth fighting for. She's a real hero.

If signed into law, the measures would close almost every abortion clinic in Texas.

No, thanks.

I don't think they are fighting to do that.

Democrats have a use! Wonderful.

BTW, thanks for starting yet another abortion debate here. That's exactly what we needed!

The bill would ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy and force many clinics that perform the procedure to upgrade their facilities and be classified as ambulatory surgical centers.

With out opening the great debate, abortion is a government funded "option". No one should ever forget who and what has killed 170 million human beings in the previous century under the guise of "protection". I wonder if the death machine will out do itself in this century?

Morally speaking, a life contracted to be sold at birth is an aborted abortion. Buying babies from mothers who would abort may seem immoral, but only because the abortion rights people were able to dehumanize the earliest humans into "fetuses" , or sub human parasites. Free market adoption, even with the moral "dangers", gives a chance to the unborn child amongst an otherwise government decided evil.

As it goes, just another perpetual affliction thanks to the theft and slavery that is government.

I posted an informational video showing the filibuster process taking place over a game changing vote...regardless of which side you support. If people aren't mature enough to have a rational discussion I don't know what to tell you. I guess you can ask a mod to delete it if you are going to get all butt hurt over it.

That's good, and the STATE level is the proper level to punish (And yes, I said PUNISH) all such murders that occur.

You can dispense with the douchbaggery. No one held a gun to your head and forced you to come into the topic. The link is there for anyone interested in watching.

Please try to be nicer to people on this forum in the future. I do agree about I didn't have to comment on this thread. Oh, and you do make a good point. I find it very interesting that people are able to filibuster in the TX legislature.

People are going to have abortions anyhow. Might as well make it safe until there is an artificial incubator that makes abortion obsolete. Even though we have so much contraception options and everyone knows about sex, it's not enough.

Go figure. #Standwithwendy now trending on Twitter

It is just a show. If she makes it to midnight Texas time, the bill (and two more) are dead, but Gov Perry will likely call a special session so it will pass anyway.

The procedure seems to have a 3 strikes provision. She's received two warnings so far. One for wandering off topic, and another for putting on a back support. If she gets warned again, the Senate can vote to end her filibuster by a simple majority.

Tim Carney on Twitter: Southern Democrat is filibustering a legislative effort to recognize a class of humans as being human.

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

Apparently a third strike already happened for mentioning ultrasounds, but I believe the motion is being appealed, so there's a new Chair.

Interesting to see the comments on Huffington Post in strong support of the filibuster, which I'm guessing would be in stark contrast to what Paul got. Could be party affiliation, could be the subject matter, could be anything, but couldn't help but notice.
