Hello!

In Texas today Democratic senator Wendy Davis is speaking continuously for 13 hours – no sitting, no toilet breaks, no food.  It’s called filibusting and it’s this female senator’s attempt to try and stop the passing of an anti abortion bill that will virtually shut down almost every abortion clinic in the state.

As she speaks there are hundreds of women lining the corridors waiting for a chance for someone in the gallery to leave so they can take their place and show support of what this US Senator is attempting to do.

  • I really respect people who stand up for what they believe in, without trampling on other people – and she is quite literally standing up for her beliefs.

  • She obviously feels very strongly about it and good on her for the hard work she took on but it doesn’t say much for mature discussion…. although she may very well have tried that too.

  • I admire her dedication but how ridiculous, whatever happened to voting or discussions. Politics is such a school playground sometimes.

  • That’s going above and beyond the call of duty. Good on her, for caring enough about such an emotive subject that is every woman’s right to decide it it’s for her.
