Well..don’t know if you were following it or not, but a scene straight out of “Mr Smith Goes to Washington” played out in the Texas legislature yesterday where one senator, Wendy Davis, took on the republican establishment who were trying to take away womens rights to control their own bodies with a draconian set of new abortion restrictions that would have closed almost all of the abortion clinics in Texas. But, what this brave, wonderful woman did was and old-fashioned filibuster; standing up for the people of Texas who did not want this law to pass…and were incensed that the governor..ole Rick Perry…called a special session for the express purpose of taking away womens rights. What senator Davis did was no little feat, standing, talking, and taking on the crazy assed republican men who want nothing more than to control the women in the state…and with the rules of the filibuster in Texas, she was not able to sit, nor drink, nor eat, or even go to the bathroom during her epic speech…all the while staying on topic as the republican men tried and tried to use procedural nonsense to stop her. Here we have one person who took on the establishment and won, giving those of us who believe that women should make their own health decisions hope that this is a new wave, that people in this country are tired of the repubs only focus being taking away rights…not the expansion of them as has happened throughout the history of this country. So, to Wendy Davis and the people of Texas that supported her I say thank you….keep up the good fight….
